Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what plans he has to retain membership of Regional Convention on Pan-Euro-Mediterranean Preferential Rules of Origin after the UK leaves the EU.

The Government is undertaking a wide range of analysis in support of our EU exit negotiations and preparations.

The analysis considers the merits of existing trade structures such as the Pan Euro Mediterranean Convention on Rules of Origin. However, this work is ongoing and the Government has not yet determined what its final approach will be.
