A new 128 page report issued by the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) on 28 July put forward 200 recommendations to help accelerate no deal preparations for the UK, the EU and companies. These points are based on a comprehensive study of existing plans laid out by the UK government, the European Commission, member states and firms.

Of particular interest to the shipping community will be pages 31, Movements, and 39, Haulage.

With the likelihood of no deal increasing, the CBI has backed up government efforts to help prepare for a no deal exit by publishing practical steps the UK, the EU and businesses can take to reduce the worst effects.
