A survey in the UK by the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) with a small sample size (132 exporters)

  • 30 had stopped sales to the European Union temporarily
  • 5 have done so permanently

FSB National Chairman comments:

  • "Those that do business internationally are being hit with some incredibly demanding, unfamiliar paperwork"
  • "What we hoped would prove to be teething problems are in danger of becoming permanent, systemic ones."

Reuters with the info, GBP little changed.
