Very concerning to see this r.e. triangular cumulation for car components (vital for the North East automotive sector) but unfortunately not a surprise. As has been mentioned a number of times, what we are asking for has never been done before in a Free Trade Agreement. https://twitter.com/faisalislam/status/1311181299206565889">https://twitter.com/faisalisl...

Hard to see why if this ends up being the case and you, theoretically of course, had to choose between investing in a plant in the North East of England and let& #39;s say, Barcelona, that you would choose the former.

Also important to see any future developments on EV components in any deal. Our region is a huge contributer to British and European EV production, but many components are currently only sourced from Japan - can this realistically change in the next few months or will there be...

some wiggle room in a deal?

Usually defer to our very own Rules of Origin expert @NEEChamberJack who I& #39;m sure is coming up with a plan to save the day as we speak
