Answer
As set out in the UK-EU letter of the 11 October 2017, in order to minimise disruption to global trade as we leave the EU, we will replicate as far as possible, our current obligations in the World Trade Organization (WTO). We recognise that tariff rate quotas are a particularly complex issue and we are working closely with the EU and other WTO members to maintain existing levels of market access.
