On 19 May, Members discussed the implementation of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement. The Rapporteur, Sandro Gozi (Renew), highlighted the importance of strengthening the EU-UK partnership. He also welcomed the UK´s plans to legislate for the indefinite recognition of the CE marking across additional product regulations.
In the draft opinion, the Rapporteur raises concerns on the UK´s border target operating model and its related problems for EU traders on customs formalities. The draft opinion mentions that regulatory convergence on digital legislation should be promoted, in particular on online platforms and AI. Indeed in this domain, the Rapporteur calls for the establishment of an EU-UK AI forum.
