Researchers at Aston University in England estimated that between 2021 and 2023, annual UK exports of goods to the EU were 17% lower than they would have been had Brexit never happened. Exports in most sectors have decreased since 2021, according to the report. “The UK-EU trade relationship remains crucial for both parties,” Tuesday’s report said, adding that the relationship “underpins” economic stability and growth. According to the study’s lead author, Professor Jun Du, the post-Brexit trade deal has “introduced substantial barriers” to UK-EU trade. The report is the latest piece of research to highlight the negative effects Brexit has had on the UK economy.

Brexit has erected trade barriers for UK businesses and foreign companies that used Britain as a European base.

Maria își amintește că satul a fost „închis” după acele alegeri și spune că poate n-ar fi trebuit să aibă loc. Nu puteam ieși la magazin, mai ales că noi am fost primul sat contaminat și a fost cam greu. Dar așa, la sat, oamenii se tem, spun că de la unele vaccinuri fac reacții care pot duce și la deces. Eu de când a fost închis satul, nici nu prea am ieșit din ogradă, nu am fost infectată”, afirmă Natalia. Până la urmă, am trecut faza mai dificilă, iar acum, spre bucuria omenirii, este și vaccin.
