Avoiding tariffs between UK and EU 'critical' - UK business leaders
CGTN Europe • 4m 32s
An influential group of UK business leaders says it is critical there are no tariffs between the UK and the European Union as talks over a Brexit trade deal continue to stall.
Allie Renison, the senior policy advisor at the Institute of Directors (IoD), says if there is no trade deal and tariffs are introduced there could be disastrous consequences for many companies.
She told CGTN Europe: "It's absolutely critical that we have no tariffs, no quotas. We've had that in place for so long but particularly now as we come to the end of the pandemic, potentially, it's really important that we continue to have no tariffs between the UK and the EU."
