Don't go backwards on hard won progress, urges CBI

摘要

A specially-convened meeting of the CBI's most senior policy-making committee has issued a unanimous statement declaring "we must not go backwards" following the publication of the draft Withdrawal Agreement between the UK and EU The CBI Chairs' Committee, which represents every region and nation of the UK's business community, says the draft Brexit Withdrawal Agreement has two essential economic benefits which must be achieved: avoiding a no deal cliff edge by delivering transition, and opening a route to a good long-term trade deal. The statement adds: "The real life implications for people and regions across the UK are what really matter. Business urges all involved to assess the way forward on this basis."
