ESPO Position Paper on Brexit

06 March 2018

The European Sea Ports Organisation has developed a position paper to submit to the negotiators now that Brexit has entered the second phase.

With this paper, ESPO calls on the Brexit negotiators to prioritise transport and more in particular maritime transport in the second phase of the Brexit negotiations.

Given the fact that much of the trade in goods between the EU-27 and the UK passes through ports, it is of paramount importance to consider the impact of potential post-Brexit scenarios on the ports, the transport and logistics chain in any decision making process.
