BBC World Service - World Business Report, Britain to start its first full year outside the European Union

The UK is to complete its separation from the EU's single market and customs union

As the UK leaves the EU's single market and customs union, we speak with members of the European Parliament and key figures in trade to find out what a future outside of the EU will mean for Britain. Will Britain still be able to freely trade with its European neighbours without any bad blood resulting from Brexit? Cecilia Malmstrom, former EU Trade Commissioner, tells us how she sees the relationship developing. Plus, we speak with key politicians from the remaining EU states, Domenec Ruiz Devesa, Spanish Member of the European Parliament, and Geert Bourgeois, MEP for Belgium, about their thoughts on what life without the UK be like. Plus, we hear the latest on the US stock markets from Cary Leahy from Decision Economics in New York.
