The United Kingdom has signed a post-Brexit trade deal with Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, HM’s Government has announced.
The UK’s international trade secretary Liz Truss said the agreement will be a major boost for trade between the four non-EU nations, which is already worth £21.6bn.
She claimed it would boost sectors such as digital and cut tariffs on UK farm products such as cheese and meat.
The UK is currently Norway’s top trading partner outside of the European Union.
HM’s Government said reduced import tariffs on shrimps, prawns and haddock would cut costs for UK fish processing, helping to support jobs in Scotland, East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire.
Iceland’s Foreign Minister, Gudlaugur Thor Thordarson, said an agreement with the UK had been a priority for his country and would be “crucial for both Icelandic companies and consumers”.
