There has been much talk in the press of the ‘level playing field’ but what does this actually mean for businesses in the medium and longer term, and what is the ‘rebalancing mechanism’ that was used to reach agreement, and what doors to future tariffs, disagreements or opportunities could this create when our standards and rules start to deviate from those in the EU?
What You Will Learn/Takeaway
- An understanding of what is meant by ‘A Level Playing Field’
- What rebalancing mechanisms were used and might be used in future
- What the future might hold in terms of tariffs and taxes
- How to build resilience into your business model so you are not too dependent on sales or supplies from the EY
- What opportunities the level playing field might create
- Where to find additional help and support
Who should attend:
You should attend this webinar if you are a business that has been impacted by the Eu Exit, businesses selling goods into the EU that are not wholly manufactured in the UK, and which rely on components, materials and ingredients from a range of origins. Those looking to see if there is an export market for their product, and businesses that have to comply with specific industry standards for example health.
