January 16, 2021 at 9:17 pmIn fairness, this article seems to overlook the fact that here in the UK, the government haven’t got a clue what they’re doing! They haven’t been able to give any guidance to UK hauliers, so why should EU companies be any the wiser. The government here in the UK didn’t plan for any of this.. They still have no idea of what they need to do to even start to implement passage of goods.
Therefore the best option for any EU company right now is to suspend all transport that’s not urgent, until.duch a time as the UK authorities can give the guidance required. This may take some time? Here we are on the 16th of January and according to Downing Street, everything is absolutely fine… No problems at all!
I’ll take a guess that maybe this time next year, you might see the return of some normality!
