This week’s EU exit corner, 31 July 2023

In this week’s EU exit corner, we bring you the latest guidance updates and publications relevant to EU exit. The latest Trader Support Service bulletin is also available and we issue a final reminder that the deadline for applying for the new UK Internal Market Scheme to ensure applications are processed in time to move goods in the green lane under the Windsor Framework (“WF”) is today, Monday, 31 July. Last week the House of Lords Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland Sub-Committee published its report into the WF. The Institute provided evidence to the Committee during the course of its inquiry; our recommendation on the need to conduct an education campaign on the WF, especially for suppliers in Great Britain, is specifically mentioned on page 26 of the report and is one of the Committee’s key recommendations on page 28 of the report in Chapter 3 which deals with the movement of goods.
