European Council

On trade justice with the poorest countries in the world, the EU has quite a good record on giving those countries duty-free access to our markets under the ““Everything but Arms”” agreements. Where we should make more progress is, for example, on the free trade agreement with Korea, which is worth up to £0.5 billion to the British economy. There are opportunities for many more free trade agreements, which include all sorts of different stipulations but could make us more prosperous here at home, too.
