"Lexology" said : Brexit: troubles ahead for the automotive industry

European Union, United Kingdom May 9 2017According to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), Brexit could undermine the competitiveness of the automotive industry, which represents 6.5% of EU's GDP and provides employment to some 12.2 million citizens across the European Union. Therefore, ACEA, together with the European Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA) wish for a tariff- and burden-free market access and for a stable and predictable regulatory framework after Brexit. According to Mr. Jonnaert, the main risks of Brexit include the introduction of tariffs and expensive import-export customs procedures. It may pass through 15 countries, and cross borders multiple times in its material journey. Tariffs, for instance, could amount to 10% for passenger cars, 10 to 22% for commercial vehicles, and 3 to 4% on average for parts and components.
