If there’s no Brexit deal…..

• Posted on Oct 10, 2018

As the deadline for Brexit approaches, uncertainty grows around exactly what kind of deal the UK will negotiate with the EU. At the moment, the UK’s official position is still that a no-deal Brexit remains unlikely.  Despite this, the Government has committed to publishing 84 assessments on the consequences of a no-deal covering a wide range of subjects.

As with all industries, the Sporting Goods and Play sectors need to be as prepared as possible for the effects of a no-deal. The Government issued its first tranche of papers in August and continue to produce more.

To help our members, we have compiled a list of technical papers issued to date that are likely to affect our industries if there is a no-deal Brexit:

• How to Prepare if the UK Leaves the EU
• Advice for Businesses Only Trading with the EU
• Appointing Nominated Persons to Your Business
• Trading Under the Mutual Recognition Principle
• Trading Goods Regulated under the New Approach
• Data Protection
• Trade Marks and Designs
• Patents
• Exhaustion of Intellectual Property Rights
• Intellectual Property
• Copyright
• Regulating Chemicals – REACH
• The FSPA Brexit Customs Check Lists
• Customs Declaration Service

Whatever the outcome of Brexit negotiations there will be changes to navigate particularly with regards to supply chains, so we will continue to provide you with information as negotiations progress and signpost you to relevant government papers.
