Food and Drink Federation response to possible Brexit agreement
Speaking about the possibility of a Brexit agreement, FDF Chief Executive, Ian
Wright CBE said:
“We would welcome any clarity relating to a potential agreement with the EU.
While this is a
step in the right direction, uncertainty remains. Food and drink manufacturers
will have to continue
planning for a variety of scenarios until our politicians have cast their
judgement on the suitability of this
deal. This will result in businesses incurring significant costs and devoting
additional time and effort to
such endeavours. Until the withdrawal agreement implementation bill receives
Royal Assent, the spectre
of a 'no-deal' Brexit looms large over our industry.”
