The Prime Minister has told European business leaders he wants to “foster a pro-business agenda” with Brussels after MEPs signed-off on his Brexit trade deal, No 10 said.
The European Parliament overwhelmingly voted to ratify the trade terms last week, in a move that was delayed due to cross-Channel rows over the Northern Ireland Protocol.
The deal, thrashed out by Boris Johnson’s Government and the EU over months of difficult negotiations, was approved by MEPs by 660 votes to five, with 32 abstentions.
Following the move, Downing Street said Mr Johnson and International Trade Secretary Liz Truss, during a conference call with businesses from the European Round Table for Industry (ERT) on Tuesday afternoon, expressed hope the decision would bolster trade between Britain and the bloc.
