As of 1 January 2021, trade between the UK and the EU is governed by a new Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA). This means that new rules apply to the trade, travel and business conducted between the UK and the EU.  In order to help businesses navigate through this change, we bring you a highly interactive EU Transition: Ask The Experts session, where the content will be led by you!

During registration, you will be asked to submit any questions you have around the current EU Transition for our panel of experts, then join us live on the day to hear your questions answered.
