Brexit will become a reality

The United Kingdom continues to respect all European rules and retains access to the internal market and to the Customs Union now that it is still in the transition period.

Currently, the United Kingdom and the European Union are engaged in negotiations on their future relationship, in order to determine in particular the trade rules that will apply at the end of the transition period on December 31, 2020.

Whatever the outcome of these negotiations, the end of the transition period will have consequences for citizens and economic actors, whether an agreement on the future relationship will be concluded or not. Therefore, the end of the transition period should now be anticipated.

For its clients IPLC consultants have put together a list of Government Departments, Associations and Institutions where useful information is offered to prepare for the planned exit of the United Kingdom from the EU.

Many of the websites link to webinars that address key questions from manufacturers, suppliers and other industry stakeholders. Among the topics are new formalities and control processes of those using the North Sea routes between UK and EU ports and the transport infrastructure of the Short Straits.
