LOGISTICS UK has raised concerns about the government’s proposed Retained EU Law (REUL) Bill and the risks which its adoption will pose to UK businesses and the nation’s supply chain.
In a letter to PM Rishi Sunak, Logistics UK’s chief executive David Wells OBE has highlighted the industry’s concerns about the Bill, due to be implemented from December 2023: The cost and scale of the changes which will impact businesses trading across the UK’s borders, the risk of creating trade barriers which could impede the movement of goods and slow the UK’s economy.
“Britain’s logistics businesses keep the UK trading and are driving the country’s economic recovery. But with at least 4,000 EU laws across around 500 policy areas affected by the REUL Bill, the impact of its implementation will be significant,” he said.
