Logistics UK gives evidence to EFRA Committee on EU to GB trade

Logistics UK gave evidence to the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (EFRA) Committee on EU to GB trade, and specifically the import of SPS (sanitary and phytosanitary) goods under the government's Border Target Operating Model. 

Speaking afterwards, Mallon said: "This provided a further, important opportunity to highlight the ongoing challenges being experienced by the logistics sector, particularly when it comes to physical inspections and delays at border control posts, damage being caused to fragile goods during off-loading and reloading, and the slow and poor information flow to logistics operators and drivers when goods are held.

“In line with the problem-solving DNA of the logistics sector, we also set out to the Committee the practical solutions we have developed with our Trade Association partners, TLN (Transport and Logistics Netherlands) and TLF (Transport Logistics France), which we have submitted to government to resolve these difficulties and barriers to trade.

"Logistics UK appreciates the significant amount of time  Alistair Carmichael MP, Chair of the Committee, and all Committee members set aside to listen to the key issues impacting the logistics industry which underpins EU GB trade.”
