BIFA says it will assist British government on up-coming Brexit discussions
THE British International Freight Association (BIFA) said it is working with the government to ensure the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union is not over-burdened with regulations.
On the day Prime Minister Theresa May invoked Article 50 and began negotiations for Britain's exit, BIFA director general Robert Keen said: "In the run up to the UK's eventual exit we will be working with government to try and ensure that the movement of the UK's visible import and export trade does not become overburdened by over complicated trade procedures.
"Clearly there are significant areas of concern for our members, which are responsible for much of the physical movement of that trade, over the eventual outcome, including the physical infrastructure, trade arrangements and Customs practices that will be reviewed as part of the Brexit negotiations.
"BIFA's focus now will be to make sure that all parties negotiating are fully aware of the potential challenges for which they will need to find solutions," said Mr Keen.
