The UK is seeking to maintain a deep trading relationship with the EU while maximising our opportunity to strike ambitious trade deals with other global trading partners such as the USA. Access of particular UK sectors such as the chemical industry to European markets will be addressed in the future negotiations between the UK and the EU.
