As the performance of the protectionism throws the shadow of the world’s economy, now it is a moment to leave old evidence. We must take action instead. Leaders are currently preparing for the EU-UK summit next week. Markus Beyrer, CEO, and I, I, and I, we are strengthening the strength of 25 mn enterprises we speak throughout Europe, call on politics.

This broke together to implement Job’s leading work and business noise and business noise, EU leading business noise, EU leading work priorities for the strategic partnership. One official letter British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and President of the European Commission Ursula Von Der Leien, we have shown the concrete steps needed to improve these important ties.

In the doorway in Europe, coordinated and cooperation measures on defense and industrial opportunities are a priority. However, our ambition, which combines against general threats, cannot be the ceiling; Updating the UK-EU economic relations should not be left on the agenda “any other job” on the agenda.

The business has no desire to restore the Brexite referendum, or it was reported that they were negotiating on the red lines. Both parties bring the table. However, we cannot afford the future of the next one to determine the future – this summit should provide critical progress.

The EU and England shares the North Sea and adapted to the net zero ambitions. Energy cooperation between them can result in energy security and a strong, low carbon economy. The EU-British Trade and Cooperation Agreement has committed commitment to “serious consideration of corresponding carbon price systems.” But progress has been glacibly slow.

This is the free benefits with both emissions and emissions trade schemes, this is to coordinate them, to create a deeper, more liquid and effective market. The relevant carbon regulation of border regulation will prevent the mechanisms for releasing from a reciprocal freedom, and prevent new trade barriers from the North Sea. Neither England’s clean power target nor the needs of EU’s vital electrification cannot be met without it.

Mobility has become an overpriced issue and trap us in stagnation. However, people who travel to the borders are very different for constant migration if they do to provide services that represent 48 percent of our total bilateral trade. Everyone wants our strength services to develop and grow our sector. It’s not a tortism, it is pragmatism. It is necessary to focus on the occurrence of both parties to increase the short-term business trip or with mutual recognition of professional specialties.

Leaving EU regulators and customs regimes and left the companies to deal with the Bexit red bands on both sides of the channel. For those incurred by higher expenses, it would be an opportunity to create an environment in which the work is developed.

Reducing these costs does not require re-entering the Customs Union. Sanitary and phytosanitary and a veterinary agreement support for agricultural and food products that move in less friction along the borders, but will be supported without compromising food safety and high standards of animal health. Such an agreement will also simplify the flow of trade between the mainland British and Northern Ireland. Recognizing each other’s test and certification, reduces obstacles in the trade of goods. The EU already has such contracts with the United States, Canada and several other countries, so why not England?

None of this would break political red lines in London or Brussels. This is pragmatism to unlock the welfare – a leadership and vision of businesses on both sides of the channel next week to see the summit.
