17 Jun 2020 --- Eucolait, the European association of dairy trade, is concerned that the current EU-UK impasse on a potential future trade deal is leading to more uncertainty. Therefore, it is urging politicians to avoid a cliff-edge scenario. This situation is exacerbated by the UK’s recent declaration that it will not consider an extension of the transitional period that ends on December 31. Eucolait highlights how progress in the negotiations between the EU and the UK has been slow and the positions of each side appear “inconsolable.”
