Trader Support Services

Tender description

Traders Support Service On 20th May, HMG published 'The UK's Approach to the Northern Ireland Protocol' which set out that the Protocol can be implemented in a way that would protect the interests of the people and economy of Northern Ireland, ensure the effective working of the UK's internal market, provide appropriate protection for the EU Single Market and uphold the rights of all Northern Ireland's citizens. Our proposals, as set out in the command paper, aim to deliver unfettered access for Northern Ireland businesses to the whole of the UK market; ensure there are no tariffs on goods remaining within the UK customs territory; discharge our obligations without the need for any new customs infrastructure in Northern Ireland and, finally, guarantee that Northern Ireland businesses benefit from the lower tariffs we deliver through our new Free Trade Agreements with third countries.
