14 Mar 2019 --- In the latest twist in a monumental week for Brexit, UK MPs have rejected the idea of leaving the EU without a deal. They voted in UK Parliament yesterday, by 312 to 308 to reject a no-deal Brexit under any circumstances – but as this is not legally binding and under current law, the UK could still leave without a deal on March 29. The fact that a no-deal has been rejected has not quashed the mounting concerns of many in the food and beverage industry and agri-supply chain because a no-deal remains the default option if nothing else can be agreed. These fears have been escalated further after a new temporary tariff regime was announced which many believe could cause trade distortions and market disruption.
