Despite having already brought about modifications to the rules of international trade with the United Kingdom, Brexit has not finished profoundly transforming how goods are traded. After ICS (Import Control System), required since January 1st, 2021, for all goods moving from the United Kingdom to the EU, now it is the turn of the British GVMS (Goods Vehicle Movement Service) to enter the scene, followed during 2023 by the S&S GB (UK safety and security […]

GB S&S - Security declaration postponed to 1 January 2022 In a statement released yesterday, the UK Government announced that it has decided to postpone up-coming deadlines for the introduction of a number of procedures and requirements linked to a post-BREXIT customs and cross-border environment.

However, "on all these points, we ask for nothing other than for the Political Declaration to be respected," Michel Barnier declared.

“It is settled,” Minister Michael Gove, number two of the British government, said last Friday, effectively closing the door to any further discussion on the possibility of an extension to the transition period beyond January 1st, 2021. “This brings clarity and certainty for companies and allows them to prepare,'' he insisted during a television interview. And for sceptics who may still doubt the determination of Boris Johnson’s government, Mr. Frost, Britain’s chief negotiator said to British MEPs: "Even if the EU demands it, we will refuse it."
