More exchanges with EU are urgently needed

British Chambers of Commerce are strongly mobilized to increase UK-EU business exchanges. William Bain, Head of trade Policy at the BCC is quite gung-ho about this: “The UK Government and European Commission should engage positively with our recommendations to improve the two-way flow of goods and services.”

Exchanges have decreased sharply (the full ONS data can be found here). The UK is trading less with the EU than it was three years ago.
