Boris Johnson will scrap plans to enforce Brexit border checks on EU goods
Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.The UK government is reportedly set to scrap tough plans for checks on all EU goods from next year.
The UK government insisted earlier this year that the UK would full apply checks and controls to all goods coming from the EU from next year if the two sides had not negotiated a free trade deal by then. UK preparation for potentially leaving the EU without a free trade deal has also been hampered by the outbreak of the coronavirus, with most businesses unable to work on Brexit while dealing with the impact of COVID-19.
It also only covers imports, meaning businesses that export to the EU still face a number of costly checks. Negotiators have made little progress, with talks stalling over disagreements over fisheries, state aid, and what Brussels calls level playing field provisions — a set of rules meant to prevent businesses in the UK from undercutting the EU and vice versa.UK and EU negotiators will meet in person once a week throughout July in an attempt to thrash out a deal before the Brexit transition period expires at the end of December.
The government's decision to bin plans for full border checks has been welcomed across the business world.
