Recommendation 14
14
Uncertainty during trade agreement ratification risks delaying commercial decisions for UK businesses.
Conclusion
The Committee notes evidence that uncertainty during the ratification period risks delaying commercial decisions, particularly in sectors where tariff reductions under the Agreement are commercially significant. Given the absence of provisional application, timely ratification and clear communication on implementation timelines will be critical to minimising disruption for UK businesses.
