PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
World Trade Organization (25 October 2017)

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what plans he has to facilitate the implementation of the UK's schedules and quotas at the WTO under the modification procedure.

Asked by:
Kirsty Blackman (Scottish National Party)

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.
