FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “‘Willingness and urgency’ to resolve Brexit trade issues: UK ambassador to France” – below is their description.
We’re now just over a fortnight into the new arrangements between the United Kingdom and the European Union. Their combined half a billion citizens are getting used to things post-Brexit, to varying degrees. We’ve seen major European freight handlers refusing to take goods to the UK. There are also shoppers in various countries unable to find certain foodstuffs: some of this due to Covid-19 restrictions, some due to Brexit. There have also been some Brits unable to reach their second homes in the EU.
