This might be one of those times when I am allowed to say "just as I have been saying for a long time"... Labour will seek to deepen EU ties but hold red lines, this won't be through the TCA review, and there is a lot that can be discussed. https://t.co/btrU1hk3Jq

Standards are a critical element of the trade landscape. As the voice of global business, we look forward to working with @isostandards to increase the participation of the private sector in the development of international standards.

Drowning in omicron news? My takeaway: highly transmissible, can re-infect those who’ve had covid or vaccinated but likely less severe illness. High attack rates at parties/dinners. Best to reduce close contacts heading into Xmas, avoid crowds & wear masks in shops/transport.

Really helpful ⁦@WhichUK⁩ report on consumer trade priorities. The area with least clarity is #levellingup How this will be delivered and how trade will help deliver it. Beyond commitments and words there is very little detail ⁦@iccwboUK⁩ https://t.co/r0ekZTpsCL

[Frank K. Faraday @faraday_frank]

@pholmes8 Indeed, you're right. Standards are distinct from regulatory markings such as UKCA or CE marking. There is currently no mutual recognition between the UK and EU of such marking regimes. The decision in CEN and CENELEC has no impact on these regulatory questions.

[David Bell @dmb_bsi]

After 5 years of discussion this is an important day for our stakeholders and anyone interested in the role standards play to support trade

✅ continuity in standards development
✅ supports the new UK designated standards system
✅ in line with the UK/EU TCA
