Kicking off a new season of conversations for 2024-25, Steve has a really valuable with Valeria Vigilante and John Austin-Sheridan from the Free Trade Agreement Utilisation (FTAU) team within the Department of Business and Trade (DBT).
The CEPA (UK-Japan Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement) was the first trade agreement made after the UK left the EU. The conversation delves into the benefits of the FTA and how companies can find out if they can capitalise on any of the changes. The UK is also reaching the home straight to 'entry into force' of CPTPP (Comprehensive & Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership). Being part of this important trading block will improve conditions for British companies exporting across the region.
