10/02/2020 (Agence Europe) – In a press release published on Monday 10 February, the British government indicated that it wanted to set up up to ten free ports in the United Kingdom in order to stimulate the country’s economy after its exit from the European Union. According to London, such a measure will allow for “creating thousands of jobs, regenerating communities and turbocharging Britain’s post-Brexit growth. The press release also states that a ten-week consultation on these free ports has been launched. The UK Government’s aim is to announce the location of these areas by the end of the year, so that they will be operational in 2021. Located inland or close to ports, these areas allow goods to be imported and then processed or re-exported duty-free. To read the press release: http://bit.ly/38qt5Nj (DG)
