Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, whether her Department has undertaken a recent assessment of the impact of the UK's departure from the EU on the Sovereign Base Areas in Cyprus; and what steps her Department is taking to encourage further trade between those areas and Cyprus.
The Sovereign Base Area (SBA) Protocol to the UK Withdrawal Agreement, stipulates that the SBAs remain in the EU Customs Territory. As such, they remain aligned with EU Free Trade Agreements. The SBAs do not have any commercial ports or airports and do not import or export to any third countries, aside from the Republic of Cyprus.
