Read our privacy policy Seven in 10 UK firms say the government's Brexit trade deal with the EU has been bad for business and held back growth, with a majority reporting it has pushed up costs and increased paperwork. The BCC said its findings “clearly show” there are issues with the EU trade deal that need to be improved. “Many of these companies have neither the time, staff or money to deal with the additional paperwork and rising costs involved with EU trade, nor can they afford to set up a new base in Europe or pay for intermediaries to represent them.” The BCC is urging ministers to make exporting food less complex and remove limitations on business travel and work in the EU. However, given the Covid-19 pandemic, global recession and supply chain disruption, it is still too early to draw any firm conclusions on the long-term impacts of our new trading relationship with the EU.” Dr Philippa Whitford MP, the SNP's Europe spokesperson, said: “This latest survey highlights once again that the Tory government's extreme Brexit deal has been nothing short of an unmitigated disaster.
