Northern Ireland International Trade and Investment Patterns - Mexico, Canada and India
Date published:
On leaving the EU the UK government ‘rolled over’ trade agreements it was party to as an EU member. This covered approximately 60 countries and was completed to ensure continued ease of trade. In completing these agreements, the UK government committed to review the agreements to better tailor for UK business.
Canada and Mexico
These are the first two ‘rolled over’ trade agreements the UK government has undertaken to review. On 18 May 2021 the UK government launched a call for input, seeking stakeholder input on what the UK government should seek to achieve from the review. The call for input can be found at: Trade with Canada and Mexico - call for input
India
In addition to the rolled over trade agreements, the UK government also committed to complete new trade agreements. This is the case with India. On 25 May 2021 the UK government launched a consultation seeking views from stakeholders on what the UK government should seek to achieve in a trade agreement with India. The consultation can be found at: Trade with India - call for input
