Dover claims “tangible benefits” from UK/EU deal

The UK’s southeastern Port of Dover, which handles more than $192 billion worth of trade annually, has welcomed yesterday’s trade deal between the UK and EU which will boost trade and smooth the movement of goods across the Dover Straits.

Import and export restrictions were imposed following the UK’s exit from the EU on 31 January 2020, raising costs for both Uk and European traders overnight and hitting trade between the trading bloc and Britain.
