The New UK-EU Deal 🤝

At the first EU-UK Summit, major steps were taken to rebuild and strengthen trade ties. The commitments reached mark a turning point in the bilateral relationship, with tangible benefits for businesses, consumers, and industry on both sides.

🔹 A Common SPS Area is in development to ease the movement of agri-food goods between the European Union and Great Britain. This includes additional benefits for Northern Ireland, which retains dual market access.

🔹 Tariff-free trade in steel will continue, supporting long-term industrial cooperation.

🔹 A fisheries agreement grants reciprocal access to waters until 2038, providing long-term certainty for the sector.

🔹 The UK may join the EU electricity market, which would improve energy stability, price predictability, and support investment in North Sea renewables.

🔹 Work is underway to link the UK and EU Emissions Trading Systems. This would help deliver on shared climate goals and maintain a level playing field for industry.

🔹 Cooperation on trade in services, business mobility, and competition enforcement is also being strengthened.

This renewed agenda reflects a pragmatic, forward-looking approach and send a clear signal to businesses that cooperation is back on the table.
