The EU is the UK’s largest and most important trading partner in the world: it accounts for 42% of UK exports and 52% of imports. But four years after the Brexit transition period ended and the implementation of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, it is clear that cross-border trade and economic output are being held back. What is needed is a pro-growth, pro-business reset of our economic relationship.

This manifesto is more than a call to action; it is an invitation to imagine a future where EU-UK trade demonstrates collaboration at its best. As we embark on this journey, the voices of business, amplified by clear and actionable policy proposals, will be indispensable in ensuring that the TCA evolves into a catalyst for shared success.
