New UK report warns of widespread disruption to UK-EU freight transport from 1 January
The UK’s National Audit Office (NAO) has reported that there is still likely to be widespread disruption to UK-EU freight transport from 1 January 2021, despite some progress in recent months implementing the changes required to systems, infrastructure and resources to manage the border at the end of the UK’s post-EU Exit transition period.

In its fourth report assessing the UK government’s preparations at the border, on behalf of the UK parliament, the NAO highlights that planning for 1 January 2021“has built on work done for previous EU Exit deadlines, but COVID-19 has exacerbated delays in government’s preparations and significant risks remain, particularly in relation to implementing the Northern Ireland Protocol– and trader readiness more generally”.
