Ceemet has been clear since the outset about our key priorities for the European Technology and Industry sector to ensure a smooth exit for the UK from the EU. This report explores four priorities providing background and setting our specific recommendations for the future relationship between the EU and the UK.

1. Maintain free and frictionless trade, avoiding tariff and non-tariff barriers to the movement of goods and services while ensuring the integrity of the Single Market;
2. Enable people to move freely across borders to support complex supply chains and address the sector’s skills gap;
3. Ensure a single regulatory environment, supported by mutual recognition and regulatory cooperation;
4. Consult industry to ensure negotiations deliver a deal which works for manufacturers across Europe and in the UK.
