BCF Survey Reports Coatings Industry Prepared for No-Deal Brexit, Fears Border Delays and UK REACH
LONDON — A new survey by the British Coatings Federation (BCF) reports that the coatings industry has expressed significant concerns about border delays and separating from European chemical regulations ahead of a no-deal Brexit. The responses to the survey were gathered between September 4 and September 10, at a critical point during Parliament’s debate on blocking a no-deal Brexit.
BCF members have huge concerns over delays at the border, with 80% saying this was what worried them most. Moreover, 82% have expressed concerns over new UK chemical regulations, which will be needed in the event the UK does not have access to the European Chemicals Agency.
