Description

Aims

This project aims to provide, where possible, granular quantitative estimates of the costs of compliance with EU NTMs for GB and NI exporters via a comprehensive review of trade processes in the agri-goods, fish and seafood sectors. It will include quantitative estimates where possible of the cost of compliance with internal NTMs for GB businesses transporting agri- goods, fish and seafood to NI post Brexit.

The specific aims of this research are to -
• provide updated NTM cost estimates for GB and NI exports of agri-goods, fish and seafood goods to the EU.
• provide NTM cost estimates for GB businesses transporting agri-goods, fish and seafood products to NI, if possible with cost estimates separated out by Northern Ireland Protocol (NIP)/Windsor Framework (WF).
• understand the scale of the costs associated with NTMs.
• establish whether any firms ceased trading or reduced exports as result of TCA and/or NIP/WF NTM requirements.
• determine what aspect of NTM trade related measures are the most prohibitive to exporting to the EU.
• note suggested solutions to reduce the costs associated with EU NTMs, including incorporating specific trade facilitation and other measures.
• identify which NTMs represent the greatest burden to businesses and how firms and the supply chain have responded to these costs.
