UK completes separation from European Union

BBC World Service - World Business Report, UK completes separation from European Union

A new era has begun for the United Kingdom

Today is the first day of the UK existing outside of the EU's single market and customs union; we have an extended report from Marie Keyworth. We take a look at trade with Simon McKeever, the Chief Executive of the Irish Exporters Association and hear from the BBC's Vivienne Nunis. So what does this all mean for the UK's access to European labour? Farmers in Cornwall grow most of the world's daffodils and more than 90% of workers come from overseas; with the harvest starting tomorrow, where does this leave farmers? Rachel Stevenson, in Falmouth in Cornwall has been finding out. We also speak to Shanker Singham, Chief Executive of the trade and economic consultancy Competere. And Sophie Pornschlegel, a Senior Policy Analyst at the European Policy Center, speaks to us from Freiburg in Germany about what 2021 heralds for the EU. (Picture: Union Jack via Getty Images).
