UK Government Seeks Views from Businesses on Maintaining Existing Trade Remedy Measures Post Brexit

In preparation for its independent trade remedy framework, the UK government has launched a Call for Evidence on November 28, 2017 to identify UK businesses that produce goods currently subject to EU anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures.
