CLECAT issued today a position paper addressing the remaining Brexit issues which require the attention of both the UK and EU negotiators. These relate to the operational issues and uncertainty which prevent businesses to fully prepare for 1 January 2021 when the transition period ends. As freight forwarders and customs brokers handle the vast majority of transport and customs formalities, they are of strategic importance to ensure an orderly flow of goods between the EU and the UK as of 2021. On both the EU and the UK side, issues relating to the negotiations, the implementation, communication and capacity remain.
