Responding to the announcement of a new UK-EU agreement, John Dickie, Chief Executive of BusinessLDN, said:
“For too long, negotiations with the European Union have been defined by performative politics rather than economics.
“The Government is right to take a pragmatic approach to resetting relations with our nearest trading partners that supports jobs and boosts growth.
“It’s particularly welcome that the UK and EU have committed to working together on a youth experience scheme, which modelling shows could deliver a significant shot in the arm to the economy.
“Both the UK and EU should now look to build on this agreement to benefit people on both sides of the Channel.”
