The Government should publish a detailed CETA implementation plan, no later than three months before entry into force, including routes for businesses to raise market access problems; points of contact in the UK and in India; sector-specific guidance (including for SMEs); and how the Joint Committee and sub-committee system, set out in the Agreement, will be used to resolve barriers.
