The Department for Business and Trade works closely with a number of Departments to monitor changes in EU legislation and assess the impact on businesses and consumers in all parts of the UK, including Northern Ireland. DBT, along with other Departments, also engages closely with the EU institutions through structured channels, including the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) committee structures and Windsor Framework structures.

The UK Government remains committed to implementing the Windsor Framework in good faith while protecting the UK Internal Market.
