Abstract
For the first time in 50 years the UK has 'sovereignty' over its trade policy. It must now decide, for example, how to configure its free trade agreements, its regulations for imported food and digital trade and its trade and climate policies. Simultaneously, income distribution has become highly sensitive in the UK, policy-making power is devolved over several UK entities and the world trading system is beset by a range of tensions such as digitisation and Chinese growth. How UK policies respond to this, and who is involved in making and scrutinising them, will shape economic outcomes for generations and affect all parts of society and all regions of the UK.
The Centre for Inclusive Trade Policy (CITP) will undertake INNOVATIVE, INTERDISCIPLINARY research at the frontier of knowledge, to help understand these challenges and opportunities and contribute to providing the UK with a modern trade policy. As well as being INTERNATIONAL in its approach, the CITP is designed to deliver IMPACT through targeted communications and sustained engagement with a wide range of non-academic stakeholders. Above all, our research responds to the view that trade policy should be INCLUSIVE in OUTCOMES for the people and regions of the UK, and in the FORMULATION OF POLICY by considering the views of all those affected. These five "I's" are core to the work of the CITP.
Trade involves exchange and agreement between sovereign states and is thus at the interface of economics and international law; these disciplines form the core of the CITP, together with political science, international relations and business.
CITP research is organised into three interrelated themes:
1. People, Firms and Places: focusses on the differential impact of trade (policy) across locations, firms and individuals (as consumers and workers) in the four nations of the UK. In this theme we will address how changes in trade barriers have differential impacts on productivity, the structure of supply chains, local labour markets and regions, and how knowledge of this can make trade policy more efficient and inclusive.
2. Digitisation and Technical Change: addresses the drivers and consequences of digitisation on geographical boundaries transforming what is produced and traded, how, where and by whom. Key here is how this impacts on trade practices and the rules governing them and the interaction between technical change, regulatory autonomy and international cooperation.
3. Negotiating a Turbulent World: considers the way that challenges to the trading system are testing the cooperation and trust that underpins open trade. CITP addresses these issues as well as regulatory coherence in trade agreements and how this may impact on domestic regulation. It will also focus closely on the stresses that trade policymaking is inducing between national and devolved administrations in the UK.
Through the themes run genuine interdisciplinarity, the development of innovative methods (including in the economic modelling of trade, especially intra-UK trade), the creation of new data (e.g. on jobs in trade), major stakeholder and public engagement (citizens' juries) to identify what the UK as a whole seeks from trade policy, an Innovation Fund to encourage earlier career researchers to propose new trade research, and a commitment to communication and engagement to achieve impact and ultimately generate change.
The CITP builds on the proven research and impact successes of its component Universities - Sussex, Nottingham, Strathclyde, Queens (Belfast), Cardiff, Cambridge, the European University Institute, Berkeley, Tel Aviv and Georgetown (USA). Each partner brings a distinct and complementary element to the CITP, extending its research expertise and its geographical reach and creating new synergies to establish an international centre of excellence for trade policy research.

How Much Trade is in UK Free Trade Agreements?
| Description | We have over 30 published papers across a range of topics. Examples of key findings below are grouped by our research themes: People, Firms, and Places • The secession of regions/countries leads to welfare losses for both seceding and seceded regions; Scottish independence would compound any Brexit losses only partially mitigated by rejoining the EU. • In Weimar Germany, Nazi electoral success was driven primarily by rural hardship from trade-shock induced declines in food prices. • Optimal policy responses to the energy price crisis comprise a mix of supply-side measures and targeted energy price subsidies or income subsidies financed through windfall taxation. • Chinese firms affected by antidumping duties downgrade product quality, negatively impacting consumer welfare • There is a trade-off between discretion in public-procurement, procurement costs and support for smaller firms. Negotiating a Turbulent World • The legal validity of the UK's defence of the NI Protocol Bill is analysed; conflicts between the Protocol and UK FTAs affect NI's ability to benefit from post-Brexit trade deals; CBAM may create complications for NI best resolved by linking UK and EU ETS and CBAMs. • CBAM presents a policy trilemma between climate ambition, technical feasibility and international equity; Establishing 'equivalence' in climate policies across countries poses challenges, benchmarking shared methods and minimum standards appears the most feasible approach; Exempting LDCs is economically viable but legally complex under WTO rules; An alternative to CBAM, LBAM, requires less information and can be applied more widely. • Brexit uncertainty increased UK import prices and reduced product variety, impacting consumer welfare; Uncertainty reduced UK imports from FTA countries; Depreciation affects consumer costs differentially depending on their income levels; A 'specific trade concern' mechanism is proposed as a better way to address national security-related trade policies in the WTO. • Non-economic objectives (NEOs) should no longer be seen as a constraint on policy but as an objective; the politicisation of trade driven by NEOs creates uncertainty and negative spillovers, which could be mitigated through plurilateral cooperation; Trade could contribute to NEOs with more inter-state cooperation in industrial policies; Middle-powers could improve global trade governance through greater regulatory cooperation. • Post-Brexit UK trade policy lacks transparency and inclusivity; Coherence and greater scrutiny is desirable; The politicisation of the Trade Remedies Authority is an example of the lack of coherence; Public trust in UK trade policy is low and citizens prefer expert-led policymaking, greater consultation and transparency; These issues could be addressed through an independent Board of Trade. Digital Trade & Technological Change: • EU adequacy decisions increase digital trade, particularly with the US; There is a regulatory challenge in medical devices in balancing safety assurance with AI-driven medical tools; Data governance requires balancing of data flows with data privacy and individual rights. • Lower restrictions on cross-border services/investment are associated with higher productivity in service-intensive manufacturing; How firms engage in value chains depends on the initial patents and intensity of intangibles; targeted import subsidies in China were effective in promoting economic growth and industrial upgrading especially for non state-owned companies. |
| Exploitation Route | The outcomes of this funding to date may be taken forward by academics as well as the policy and practitioner community working or involved in international trade policy. We work closely with the academic community, government, particularly departments and civil servants across the UK, as well as MPs and relevant agencies, with those affect by trade policy and with those who scrutinise government, can influence policy and engage in debate be it through Parliament, unions, other associations and specialist media, locally, nationally and internationally throughout the policy cycle.

| Description | Narrative Impact The Centre for Inclusive Trade Policy is generating significant academic research and subsequent impact across UK trade policy, grounding policy debates and development in robust data and deep knowledge, shaping parliamentary discussions and government decisions. We engage extensively with policy actors, the media, civil servants, civil servants and trade policy experts in think tanks and businesses. Over this reporting period, the CITP partnered with a range of institutions to hold a series of high-level, invitation-only post-UK general election roundtable discussions focussing on specific areas of trade policy that are both important and likely to be challenging for the incoming government in the UK with trade policy experts resulting in a series of policy papers and key recommendations. We have also convened Regional Policy Fora in Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as our annual UK Trade Policy Forum in London, this year held in conjunction with leading researchers from Georgetown University, Washington DC. The focus was highly topical, focusing on what the recent US election means for UK-US trade policy, as well as the future of the global trading system. The event brought together the UK's trade policy community - policy actors, civil society, academics, the media and the private sector - to discuss the repercussions of the tremendous global shocks that have recently faced global trade cooperation, as well as other contemporary challenges for UK trade policy, including the EU-UK re-set. As well as academics from Sussex and other Universities, speakers included Ben Cropper and Amanda Brooks, (Department for Business and Trade); Ben Chu (BBC); Jennifer Hillman and Rodney Ludema (Georgetown); and Ambassador Petter Ølberg of Norway (Chair of WTO General Council). The audience included UK civil servants from DBT, the Treasury, DSIT and devolved nations and embassy officials from Brazil, Japan, the EU and others. The event was very well received and consolidated Sussex's role as the 'go to' University for trade policy in the UK. As summarized by the LinkedIn post of a trade policy official in attendance: 'another brilliant Centre for Inclusive Trade Policy (CITP) Trade Policy Forum in London last week on what the recent UK and US elections mean for trade policy.....which was incredibly relevant and literally being updated in real time! As usual the experts contributing are at the top of their game and offered valuable insights and views. This event is always a very good opportunity for government, academia, business and civic society to get together and discuss the issues.' By fostering these high-level discussions and leveraging strategic collaborations, we continue to enhance our influence in the trade policy arena, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of relevant dialogues shaping the future of the UK's trade landscape. Members of CITP have submitted evidence to Parliamentary Committee inquiries and government consultations including: UK Trade Strategy Export -led Growth UK Economic Security Data and digital Trade Industrial Strategy Industrial Policy This has helped to scrutinise and formulate policy in some cases, for example, our submission on data and digital trade was highly cited in the Committee's report and they reported that it was very useful context for the Committee in assessing the future of the JSI on E-Commerce at the WTO, and similarly the UK's approach to data protection in recent years. Training and expert advice has been delivered for the Department for Business and Trade, DEFRA, EUIT and o Northern Ireland Office officials on a variety of issues covering inks between international trade and economic growth, agriculture and trade, and NI trading relations. Over this year, Professor Emily Lydgate continued her work as a special advisor to the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee (EFRA) through to June 2024 to scrutinise the administration, spending and policy of the Government's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. As members of the DBT Trade in Services Academic Advisory Group Minako Morita-Jaeger and Ingo Borchert have influenced discussions on matters relating to the United Kingdom's trade in services with non-EU countries. Our direct research impact, covers a wide range of areas, including trade and environmental policy, climate change and emissions, tariffs, free trade agreements, and post-Brexit arrangements on Northern Ireland. Some examples of these are given below: Trump's tariffs Research by Nicolo Tamberi on Trump's tariffs has attracted considerable media attention. The Department for Business and Trade has expressed interest in our modelling and simulation techniques, indicating a value in our findings for policymaking. Furthermore, the Liberal Democrats tabled a 'Humble Address' motion which would force the Government to release its analysis of the potential impact of Trump tariffs on the UK economy pointing to Tamberi's work, and his work was recently cited in a public lecture given by a member of the UK's Monetary Policy Committee. Addressing climate change, and UK greenhouse gas emissions through trade policy The UK Climate Change Committee commissioned the team (led by Alan Winters and Emily Lydgate) to help develop its guidance to the UK Government on a trade strategy for emissions reduction. As a result, the Commission's report to parliament included a substantial section on international trade summarising our report and recommendations. Subsequent work includes analysis of the revenue potential of eliminating free allowances as well as of selling CBAM permits (for Scottish Government; analysing the economic significance of the EU CBAM in the UK; and the relationship between the UK and EU CBAMs; and the complexity of the EU CBAM in Northern Ireland. The research team has liaised extensively with DBT and the Treasury on CBAMs, and the work has been cited in a House of Commons Research Briefing (2024) and presented to Parliamentary staff. Further work has involved analysing the revenue potential of phasing-out the free allowances received by UK CBAM sectors and submitting evidence to government consultations on CBAM and ETS. Addressing the impacts of UK FTAs on food standards Emily Lydgate acted as Specialist Advisor to the House of Commons Committee for Food, Agriculture and Rural Affairs from January 2021-May 2024. Focusing specifically on trade, she supported several Parliamentary inquiries focused heavily on the impacts of trade on food standards. In this role, she helped MPs understand the issues being discussed through oral briefings, but also helped shape the strategic focus of the inquiries and drafted resultant recommendations to Government. SPS Emily Lydgate's work on an EU-UK SPS Agreement has led to discussions with the European Commission and a presentation to the D-UK Meeting at the European Parliament which has been instrumental in the EU-UK Parliamentary Partnership Assembly preparations of D-UK Chair, MEP Gozi, and the wider D-UK delegation. |

| Impact | • The report helped influence a change in how the CCC evaluates the UK's responsibility for emissions reduction. It was commissioned to inform the CCC's 2022 Progress Report to Parliament, which, for the first time, included a substantial section on international trade with a summary of the UKTPO/CITP report and recommendations (p. 501). • The UKTPO/CITP Report was peer reviewed by teams within UK business and trade Departments, and by the Treasury. This helped it to shape thinking in Government about the impact of trade and trade policy on emissions. • The UK Government has now launched a formal consultation on introducing a UK-CBAM identifying many of the issues raised by the report. • The results are influencing current discourse on trade policy more broadly. They were presented at the Summit of the Americas in June 2022 (L. Alan Winters) and were reflected in the recent Trade and Business Commission report based on evidence provided by Lydgate. • The findings are likely to impact on UK trade policy and will inform international policy through the lens of climate change and carbon emissions during the critical period leading up to Net Zero. |

An important element of the research has focussed on the role of regulatory barriers to trade and how whether there may be any benefit to NI from the potential regulatory double dividend. We have built a detailed index of regulatory intensity based on the 300 or so EU regulations which underpin the Single Market. The index has been used to identify areas of possible advantage for NI, to examine the impacts on trade, and to estimate tariff equivalents of these non-tariff barriers and has informed the NI Department for the Economy's policy making. The work was presented to US Economic Envoy for NI, Joe Kennedy III when he visited NI in Oct 2023, and which led to investment of $50m, and is also being used by DBT in its analytical work. |

The report goes on to influence Amendment 16 to the Trade (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership) Bill [HL] that would ensure that the pesticide testing regimes at the UK borders are fit for purpose, when we have an increased number of food stocks for animals and humans arriving from CPTPP member countries. It specifically aims to ensure that our testing regimes are robust enough to monitor and prevent those foods that have these pesticides on them-because they have been used in the production of the food type-entering the countries. https://hansard.parliament.uk/Lords/2023-12-14/debates/C017293A-B834-4C83-AE4E-2596386DED89/Trade(ComprehensiveAndProgressiveAgreementForTrans-PacificPartnership)Bill(HL) |

She provided evidence on which sectors would gain (services) and which would lose under CPTPP accession (agricultural and semi-processed food sectors, since these were "much less competitive" than other sectors and would be exposed to increased imports from "very competitive agricultural countries") and the political, rather than economic importance of joining CPTPP for the UK. Her evidence is later cited in the Business and Trade Committee Report on UK accession to CPTPP which was published on 19 February https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/43305/documents/215619/default/ alongside a call from the committee for a parliamentary vote on joining the CPTPP trade bloc, prior to ascension: https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/365/business-and-trade-committee/news/199925/parliament-must-vote-on-pacific-trade-deal-before-the-uk-joins-committee-says/ |

| Geographic Reach | National |
| Policy Influence Type | Contribution to a national consultation/review |
| Impact | Dr Minako Morita-Jaeger provides oral evidence to the House of Commons Business and Trade Committee on the UK's accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. She answers questions about the basic principles of UK trade policy and the geopolitical gain for the UK in this deal stating that: The gain is the diplomatically enhanced tie with all the CPTPP countries. However, when it comes to economic benefit, this is very modest. We cannot predict certainty but the losers are likely to be the agricultural sector and semi-processed agricultural food. Her evidence is cited in the Committee's report: https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/43305/documents/215619/default/ at the same time the Committee calls for a vote on CPTPP ascension: https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/365/business-and-trade-committee/news/199925/parliament-must-vote-on-pacific-trade-deal-before-the-uk-joins-committee-says/ |

| Impact | The CCC evaluates the UK's progress in meeting its Net Zero target. In keeping with the approach of the Climate Change Act (2008), previous CCC reports have focused almost exclusively on production emissions. The report helped influence a change in how the CCC evaluates the UK's responsibility for emissions reduction. It was commissioned to inform the CCC's 2022 Progress Report to Parliament [https://www.theccc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Progress-in-reducing-emissions-2022-Report-to-Parliament.pdf], which, for the first time, included a substantial section on international trade with a summary of the UK Trade Policy Observatory(UKTPO)/Centre for Inclusive Trade (CITP) report and recommendations (p. 501). |

This Review is intended to complement the World Trade Organizations' (WTO) review which is due in 2025. The Review will provide an impartial assessment of UK trade policy, based on rigorous analysis of evidence and input from policymakers, stakeholders, civil society, UK citizens and experts. The Review will identify the UK's approach to trade policy including the policy tools used, key priorities, policy decision-making processes, who is involved in the decision making and who benefits and who loses. It will look at sectoral case studies and provide recommendations on how to improve trade policy formulation and outcomes for productivity, growth and the economy as well as how to address pervasive policy issues, identify priorities and manage trade-offs. The CITP is providing staff time and expertise to devise, research and write chapters of the Review; Staff time to develop website and communications for the project and Staff time to manage external relations and bring in income |

| Results and Impact | Based on a recent poll, this blog by Michael Gasiorek highlights key priorities for consideration in the UK Government's forthcoming trade strategy. Improving EU trade relations ranked highest. Growth, competitiveness, and international partnerships also emerged as significant areas of importance, alongside priorities like climate, inclusiveness, and economic security. Strikingly, free trade agreements and the role of the WTO ranked lower. While these findings are not representative, they offer valuable insights and a clear roadmap for policymakers-though identifying priorities is one thing, implementing them effectively will be the challenge.

The author estimates the referendum outcome raised UK import prices by 11% and consumer prices by 0.6% through trade policy uncertainty alone. |

| Results and Impact | Non-tariff barriers are making it much more difficult for farmers to export, adding layers of paperwork. The UK government is currently looking at resetting the UK-EU trading relationship, focusing on key areas like veterinary agreements (SPS) and technical barriers to trade. Addressing things like traceability, labelling and smoothening these processes, could be very beneficial to the farming community says Ludivine Petetin on the impact of Brexit on UK farming. |

| Results and Impact | The European Commission has outlined its response to the US Inflation Reduction Act. The European Commission's (EC) new Green Deal Industrial Plan includes proposals to ease state aid rules to make subsidies more freely available to entice green technology firms to the bloc. The move, seen as a direct response to the US Inflation Reduction Act, which last year promised billions of dollars in grants and loans to fund new clean energy projects, risks placing the UK's nascent green technology firms at a competitive disadvantage to its peers, according to analysts. Michael Gasiorek comments on the risk of "competitive protectionist subsidy policies by country, which are ultimately going to be welfare-decreasing" and how the subsidies affect the UK. |

| Results and Impact | The Labour Party promised to re-set the relationship between the UK and the EU. Now that it's been in government for a few months - what has changed? With the new government seeing opportunities in working more collaboratively with its EU partners - on defence and security, but also on the nuts and bolts of our trade relationship - there's undoubtedly been a change of tone. Our panellists on this podcast discuss whether the UK's agenda for closer trade ties with the EU is realistic, consider the EU's position and appetite for trade negotiations with the UK and analyse the political commitments that will be required on both sides. Joining Chris Horseman on this episode are David Henig (ECIPE), Viviane Gravey (Queen's University Belfast/CITP) and Ignacio Garcia Bercero (Bruegel/European Commission). |

| Results and Impact | Based on insights from recent research, this webinar discusses gender inclusivity in the knowledge production professions with a focus on the role of implicit stereotyping and potential institutional discrimination. The researchers analysed reference letters written in support of more than 3,700 applicants applying for academic positions and uncovered a pervasive disparity in the way male and female candidates are recommended. They found that women are frequently lauded for their hard work and determination, and at times less likely to be praised for their natural talent and show that this perversely affects their career progression. Michael Gasiorek chaired this webinar. Event reached a total of 28 people with 14 as live-webinar attendees and 14 YouTube views as at 22nd Jan 2024. |

It is perfectly possible that an agreement overall has very little impact - for example, 0.1 per cent of GDP - but there may be some big losers and big winners underneath that," |

If the US raises tariffs on the EU, UK exports that pass through European supply chains before reaching the US could still be affected.

To date, debates on inclusive trade have paid limited attention to the many barriers that people with disabilities face in participating in economic life. Marzia discusses her work to address this lack of visibility by building a framework for understanding the multiple channels through which greater trade integration can affect people with disabilities. She also offers suggestions on how development assistance can be designed to promote disability inclusion in the context of trade expansion. L. Alan Winters chaired this webinar. |

| Results and Impact | A winter of discontent is coming for the United Kingdom. Monday, the first in what will be weeks of nationwide strikes across professions began in protest of the skyrocketing living costs. Now, a bleak winter forces many to decide whether to heat their homes or feed their family. Professor Michael Gasiorek says that as a result of Brexit UK is 3-5% lower than would be otherwise and that is making the UK take a hit. |

Whilst the GJW paper raises some legitimate questions, Professor Winters shows that the authors cherry-pick evidence, a criticism they make of others, and that the paper is diffused with their pro-Brexit ideology. They have not made their case and nor can they find any evidence that Brexit is helping the UK economy. Reach minimal as published 2 weeks ago |

| Results and Impact | In this blog, Emily Lydgate looks at the issue of linking EU and UK Emissions Trading Systems and explores arguments for why they should be linked, and how, and whether this would be easy or tough for the UK Labour Government. Emily argues that linking the UK Emissions Trading System (ETS) to the EU ETS is a logical first step in UK-EU cooperation on climate change. It would also solve sensitive trade issues affecting the border on the Island of Ireland and have economic benefits, but all this requires UK alignment with EU methodologies and political will on both sides. Furthermore, ETS linking is not the same as CBAM alignment. Blog post has 1,077 views as at 3rd March 2025. |

That includes imports as well as exports." |

Three key points shared by Emily: (1) Right after Brexit, the Government saw an opportunity to sign free trade agreements with a shift in focus towards the Indo-Pacific. (2) Noted that the UK is facing a dilemma, stuck between wanting to be free and open to trade but also keeping allies on side with the US and EU in particular. (3) Suggested that the UK's trade relationship with the US will be trickier irrespective of who wins the presidency. Argued that Trump's tariff proposals for trade and also Harris's IRA-style incentives for US manufacturing mean the US will be less open to international trade. Summary of the event and key take aways from each speaker was published on DeHavilland Wed 2 October.

With greater focus on digital and energy transitions, as well as the intensification of geopolitical rivalry, policymakers advocate selective policy intervention more often. Whether that has translated into state action and, if so, in what form has not been established empirically. NIPO is a dedicated initiative to track these industrial policy strategies/plans, policies, and awards looking at which governments are using industrial policy and the rationale for its use, what policy tools are governments using, which sectors are being targeted and how much money is being deployed.

Key takeaways include that while progress has been made towards consultation and outreach, both between the Welsh government and local populations and between the UK and Welsh government, more work is needed. Recognising the importance of values, differences, and national/regional dimensions of trade with access to disaggregated data, trade policy capacity development and improved stakeholder developments (especially where grey policies exist) will help governments, businesses, consumers, and civil society groups make better and more informed choices. |

| Results and Impact | US President Donald Trump introduced a wave of tariffs on several countries and has warned that the European Union will be next. This article by The i Paper quotes Nicolo Tamberi's insight on how these tariffs might affect consumers in the UK: "Given that the new tariffs applies to US imports from China, Canada and Mexico - and for now retaliatory tariffs on Canada imports from the US - UK imports might be affected only indirectly. Most likely, UK imports from the US which heavily use Canadian inputs will see price rises - not only in the UK, but globally." |

It was also a primary driver for the decision of the UK to join the European Economic Community and then agree to its deepening into the EU. Fundamentally, trade allowed regions to loosen their borders and diversify their policy preferences, in a sense acting as a promoter for geographical inclusivity. |

And in the face of the uncertainty, the possible bureaucracy and all this, they have just decided it's not worth it. 'We don't need to worry about trying to export to the UK, it's not so important to us, we can export elsewhere'. Whereas for many UK firms, that's not the case - the EU was a very important destination, therefore, they needed to make sure they could continue to trade." |

Instead, a clearly laid out trade policy can be an inclusive growth strategy. The next government can create high-paying jobs by reinvigorating trade, and exports in particular. Ioannis emphasises the benefits of public policies that support workers in finding jobs in exporting firms and their suppliers rather than resorting to protectionism.

What would the impact be on US businesses and consumers? Which sectors are set to be most affected? What would such tariffs mean for transatlantic and global trade? Do they have popular support in the US?

| Results and Impact | Following Donald Trump's latest threats to hike global trade tariffs, Nicolò Tamberi analyses the implications for US trade in this blog. He finds that Trump's tariff proposal could cost over $2,000 (£1,500) per capita to US consumers. These tariffs may help American businesses sell more products domestically in the short term, but it would come with a hefty price. Trade reductions and potential retaliatory tariffs would lead to higher prices for consumers. While disruptions in global supply chains would be costly to American businesses that rely on imported materials and parts. These costs may in turn lead to job losses.

| Results and Impact | Michael Gasiorek and Holger Hestermeyer assess the state of play on UK-EU economic relations and consider the realistic options going forward. It is three years since the UK left the EU, and two years since the introduction of the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement; and the EU remains, by far, the UK's principal trading partner for both goods and services. Recent opinion polls suggest a rise in dissatisfaction either with the decision to leave the EU and/or with how Brexit has been implemented, and there are growing discussions in the media regarding how to improve those economic relations. The aim of this webinar is to assess the state of play on UK-EU economic relations and to consider the realistic options going forward, with a view also to the review of the TCA due to occur in 2025. Michael Gasiorek was the speaker and L. Alan Winters chaired this webinar. Online event reached 63 people with 44 attendees during the live event and 19 views on YouTube as at 22nd Jan 2024. |

| Results and Impact | On December 10th 2024, Professor Ludivine Petetin and Dr. Alexander Fitzpatrick presented their ongoing CITP research to over 150 civil servants from the UK Department of Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs' (DEFRA) European Union and International Trade directorate (EUIT) during their Development Day. This event was an opportunity to provide academic input into the trade aspect of DEFRA's work, as well as to hear the practitioner's perspective on the challenges they are facing. These discussions signalled clear risks for the UK's agriculture sector stemming from post-Brexit trade agreements, and how a 'joined-up' and more 'complete' approach could - at least in part - address these concerns, especially as the UK negotiates new agreements and faces potential trade challenges from across the pond. |

| Results and Impact | Despite initiating the largest change in trade policy in 50 years - leaving the European Union - the UK government still has no trade strategy. The United Kingdom's budding relationship with Asia is essentially a matter of grand rhetoric and tactics, writes L. Alan Winters. The big tactical plays now are accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the FTA negotiations with India. The striking thing about the 'tilt towards Asia' is that it entirely misses China, furthermore, Asia will struggle to replace the flexible and just-in-time supply chains that characterised trade between the European Union and the United Kingdom. |

| Results and Impact | Industrial policy is coming to dominate the global trade landscape and is massively important in political and economic terms as well. Today, as the world becomes a more geopolitically fractured place, governments are taking a very close interest in their manufacturing sectors to ensure they are attracting the investment that will allow them to hold the keys to a green economy of the future. It's a big shift away from the concept of a global open marketplace which for so many years seemed to be the direction of travel. But is it sustainable, how much help does industry need to be able to produce the things that people want to buy, and where do we draw the line between investing in national economic security and good old-fashioned protectionism? Joining Chris Horseman (Borderlex) are Minako Morita-Jaeger (CITP) and Allie Renison (SEC Newgate). |

The TCA includes the commitment not to weaken existing EU-derived laws on environmental protection. Whilst this only applies to deregulation that affects trade and investment between the UK and EU, regression could lead to trade sanctions. The authors analyse both the UK and EU perspectives and the strength of this external check on the UK's regulatory baseline on environmental protection.
