Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

Transatlantic Trade Relations: American Chamber of Commerce Ireland

2:00 am

Mr. Paul Sweetman:

It is a challenge in trying to say when we will see reports out, but one thing I will say that should give some certainty to people and organisations is there is now a deal between the EU and the US - we know there is a 15% cap. In our engagement with the US, we stay very close to the US Chamber of Commerce, where we can, on particular briefs and issues. We also go to Washington DC and other locations to engage with various government departments to try to get as much insight as we can with regard to timelines that we can bring back to give certainty to our members. The challenge, in terms of everything that is happening, is timelines are part of that uncertainty as well and are causing difficulties for companies.
