The possible scope of the UK-EU trade reset: customs perspective

Dr Anna Jerzewska examines what the Labour government's promised "reset" of UK-EU relations could mean for customs and trade, and why the customs "quick wins" available immediately after Brexit are becoming harder to achieve the further time passes.

Topics covered:

• The undefined scope of the UK-EU reset and the trade-offs that remain from the original Brexit negotiations
• The UK Industrial Strategy and UK Trade Strategy consultations, and the expected UK-EU Summit
• Rejoining the EU safety and security zone: the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) precedent set by Norway and Switzerland, and the Northern Ireland complication via the Trader Support Service
• Rejoining the Pan-Euro-Mediterranean (PEM) Convention: cumulation benefits, the coexistence of old and revised PEM rules, and the lack of official UK impact analysis
• Rules of origin for electric vehicle batteries under the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement
