IoD press release Switzerland FTA unlocks market access opportunities for UK services firms
Responding to the announcement of a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) for services between the UK and Switzerland, Emma Rowland, Trade Policy Advisor at the Institute of Directors, said:
“The enhanced UK-Switzerland FTA will be a boost for UK business, and plays to our strengths in services.
“In particular, business leaders will benefit from easier access into the market, including through recognition of professional qualifications and support for visa-free travel. Barriers to business mobility have been a significant pain point for firms looking to operate internationally, and especially in Europe.
“Switzerland is a key market for the UK, and this deal has the chance to set a strong precedent for how the UK can collaborate with trading partners to continue to unlock opportunities for UK services traders.”
