Trade agreement
Description
Concluded a Trade and Cooperation Agreement with the United Kingdom on its future trade relationship, also covering animal breeding and transport. The agreement ensures the movement of goods across borders without taxes and duties and recognition of the organic certification of the United Kingdom by the EU for 12 months. However, new barriers to the movement of services and labour between the United Kingdom and the EU mean higher costs and are expected to reduce the overall trade volume.
