Exports: EU Countries
Asked by: John Whitby (Labour - Derbyshire Dales) Wednesday 14th May 2025 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department is taking to help make it easier for small businesses to export to the EU. Answered by Gareth Thomas - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade) The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) is committed to supporting small businesses to export and access the EU market.
UK businesses can access DBT’s wealth of export support via Great.gov.uk, including the Export Academy, UK Export Finance, the International Markets network with teams based across the EU, and one-to-one support from International Trade Advisers. Unlock Europe is an Export Academy webinar series designed to help UK businesses strengthen relationships with European customers and increase their exporting potential to the EU.
At the coming UK-EU summit, we aim to make progress on tackling barriers to trade and securing outcomes that will help more UK businesses export to our European neighbours. |

Consumer Goods: Safety
Asked by: John Whitby (Labour - Derbyshire Dales) Friday 16th May 2025 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, pursuant to the Answer of 27 December 2024 to Question 20869 on Consumer Goods: Safety, what steps his Department is taking to support sole traders selling (a) engineering and (b) other products in meeting the requirement for an EU-based responsible person, in the context of the availability of STEM skills in the EU. Answered by Justin Madders - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade) I recognise that the EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) may require changes for some businesses, including sole traders and those selling engineering products to the EU. We have published guidance for Northern Ireland, which we regularly review, and continue to support businesses trading with the EU. Since October 2024, the UK Export Academy delivered eight free GPSR training sessions supporting over 5,000 users. DBT's Export Support Service are now signposting businesses to verified external service providers specialising in GPSR via the Export Support Directory. These are paid for providers, so businesses should perform due diligence before entering commercial relationships. |
