The undersigned industry representatives and companies involved in the e-commerce value chain are following with great concern the recent developments around Brexit, in particular the potential risk of a no-deal scenario. For cross-border trade, we believe it is of utmost importance to avoid any unnecessary disruption of the customs and transport network so that the movement of goods and parcels between the EU27 and the United Kingdom can continue efficiently.
