Recommendation 15

15 Paragraph: 54

Proceed immediately with activating free trade agreement extension mechanisms for Crown Dependencies' compliance.

Conclusion
Extension mechanisms in several free trade agreements, including the CPTPP, have already been obtained by the UK Government. It is important to proceed with activating these mechanisms so that the approach can be tested and, if necessary, refined and improved. This should happen as soon as possible and the Department for Business and Trade and the Crown Dependencies should proceed immediately with the work necessary to ensure compliance.
