The British International Freight Association (BIFA) expressed approval of the King's Speech, which emphasized EU alignment and proposed legislation for airport expansion benefits. BIFA's director general, Steve Parker, noted the government's commitment to improving post-Brexit relations with the EU without rejoining the single market. He highlighted ongoing concerns about trade efficiency at the UK-EU border, advocating for smoother trading arrangements, particularly regarding customs and border checks. The sector is closely monitoring the government's plans ahead of the upcoming EU-UK summit and the review of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement.
