Trade Agreements: Nigeria
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress they have made in agreeing a new trade agreement with Nigeria.
- Answer
-
When we leave the EU, we will provide the same level of preferential access to Nigeria. The Taxation (Cross-Border Trade) Act enables the UK to put in place a UK trade preferences scheme for developing countries, including Nigeria.
A trade agreement between the EU and 16 West African States has been signed by almost all the parties, but it is not currently in force. Therefore, as no agreement is currently being implemented, the UK is not transitioning this agreement.
