Development and Co-operation in Border Counties: Discussion (Resumed)

2:10 pm

Mr. Aidan Gough:

Yes. We are looking at it as the next stage because supply chains are important. On paying cross-Border tariffs, it will all have to be subject to negotiations. However, a company might be able to decide when to pay tariffs. It might not have to pay them every time product crosses the Border. They might be paid on the final product. It is an issue at which we are thinking of looking as the next stage of the research. It is about mapping supply chains across the Border.
