The EU27 is the second largest economy in the world (after the US) and it is inevitable that UK-based industry will seek to trade with the EU27 on favourable terms. This will only be possible if our economy and regulatory environment is kept in step with the EU27. We need to keep pace with EU standards in a broad range of areas, such as environmental and emissions standards, product safety, energy efficiency, labelling and animal welfare. We need to maintain a clear commitment to the precautionary principle.<\/li>\n<li>We need a flexible migration policy.<\/li>\n<li>There is need to foster social partnerships, work with trade unions and include workforce participation in industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ENDS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>13.04.2017 Jean has responded to the UK Government&#8217;s Building Our Industrial Strategy green paper.
