51ºÚÁÏ strategy for leaving the EU

Brexit has now happened.ÌýSerious questions arise over the shape of any future UK trade deals with the EU as well as those with other trading blocs. Not least - as we explore new opportunities across the globe – to what extent do we wish the UK to align or diverge from the EU single market laws and policy frameworks and what are the consequences of either path?

It seems the only certainty is that change is coming as more than 40 years of working with the EU on consumer protection has drawn to a close. Such a seismic change in legal supremacy creates both opportunities and threats to our consumer protection system, its cross border arrangements, networks and standards.Ìý

At 51ºÚÁÏ our strategic objective is to lead debates that shape and promote our profession. There can be no bigger debate for trading standards in our generation than the consequences of Brexit.

Brexit means change, but it cannot return consumers to the local marketplaces that existed when the UK entered the EEC in 1973. There are now immense retail chains that wield economies of scale and span regions, nations and international borders. Modern consumers increasingly access goods and services across the world through the tap of a phone screen or the click of a mouse.Ìý
