British Ports Association: Brexit talks are neglecting cross-border trade

The CEO of the British Ports Association has claimed cross-border trade facilitation is being neglected in Brexit talks following a speech by Brexit secretary David Davis.

Richard Ballantyne made the comments after Davis mentioned working towards business opportunities outside of the EU in a speech at Teesport.

In the speech Davis said the UK “must be able to prepare for this new relationship not just with the European Union, but with the rest of the world too” and that “90% of future global growth is expected to happen outside of Europe’s borders.”
