UK paints grim picture of 'no-deal' Brexit: More red-tape at border, delays in medical treatment and spike in credit card fees top the list

Businesses could face red tape at the border, patients could face delays to medical treatment and customers could see higher credit-card fees if Britain leaves the European Union next year without a deal, the U.K. government acknowledged Thursday in documents outlining its plans for a “no-deal” Brexit. London: Businesses could face red tape at the border, patients could face delays to medical treatment and customers could see higher credit-card fees if Britain leaves the European Union next year without a deal, the U.K. government acknowledged Thursday in documents outlining its plans for a “no-deal” Brexit. The documents urge people and businesses not to be alarmed by the “no-deal” planning, and say the government will work to “minimize any disruption to the economy.” The papers say Britain will allow EU financial services firms continued “passporting” rights to operate in the U.K. for up to three years, even if no agreement is reached with the EU — although it can’t guarantee that the bloc will let U.K. companies operate there. Steve Bates, chief executive of the U.K. Bioindustry Association, said that meant British patients “would get access to new therapies later than other countries in Europe.” The papers reveal that British organic farmers won’t be able to export their produce to the EU unless the bloc certifies U.K. standards — a process that can’t start until after Brexit and takes nine months.
