Overseas Trade: Israel
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what opportunities he has identified for further bilateral trade co-operation with Israel after the UK leaves the EU.
- Answer
-
The UK and Israel signed a trade continuity agreement in February 2019. The agreement simplifies trade and allows businesses to trade as freely as they do now when the UK leaves the EU, without any additional barriers or tariffs.
Going forward post-Brexit, the British and Israeli governments have established a Working Group to work towards a smooth transition of our trading arrangements and to plot the course for the future trading relationship between the UK and Israel. Additionally, the UK will be hosting the inaugural UK-Israel Trade and Investment Conference in London this year. This event will showcase the close trading relationship between our two countries and look to the future on areas of opportunity for businesses.
