Trade with the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership
A consultation to inform our overall approach to our future trade relationship with the countries that make up the membership of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
The UK is preparing for an independent trade policy to implement after EU Exit. This means the UK will have the opportunity to negotiate and enter into trade agreements with other countries.
These agreements can:
- enable increased trade and investment
- secure access for UK exporters to the key markets of today and the future
- give consumers access to a greater range of products at lower prices
- make the UK more innovative, competitive and prosperous
The Department for International Trade is preparing for possible negotiations as the UK government considers seeking accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) after the UK leaves the EU on 29 March 2019. The UK government is consulting with members of the public, businesses, trade experts and any other interested organisations to help inform this work.
