Question
to the Department for International Trade:
What assessment she has made of the effect of the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement on the (a) shellfish and (b) fishing industries.
Answered by Greg Hands
The TCA is a good deal for British fishermen, it recognises UK sovereignty over our fishing waters, delivers an immediate uplift in quota for the UK fleet and ensures there are zero tariffs on trade in UK and EU goods. We continue to support the industry through the unique circumstances created by the COVID pandemic and adjusting to the new requirements.

Written Question
Friday 5th April 2019
Asked by:
Angela Crawley (Scottish National Party - Lanark and Hamilton East)
Question
to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, with reference to the UN's global goals to end poverty, what steps his Department is taking to help ensure that cocoa farmers earn living incomes by 2030.
Answered by George Hollingbery
The UK is firmly of the belief that trade has a key role to play in delivering the global goals and tackling poverty. That is why the Taxation (Cross-Border Trade) Act enables the UK to put in place a trade preferences scheme for developing countries, granting duty-free, quota-free access to 48 Least Developing Countries and granting tariff reductions to around 25 other developing countries. This is critical to achieving Global Goal 17. It also remains the UK’s priority to replicate the effects of the EU’s Economic Partnership Agreements with African, Caribbean and Pacific countries, which includes 24 Commonwealth countries, some of whom are key cocoa producers.
