My Department co-operates very closely with InterTrade Ireland (ITI), whether specifically on Brexit-related issues or on the other work the body undertakes to promote and support North-South commerce. We envisage that cooperation continuing in the future, notwithstanding the challenges that Brexit will present.
ITI has undertaken considerable contingency planning to ensure its services continue without disruption, as best as possible, following the UK's withdrawal from the European Union. In relation to issues associated with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), I understand that the Body has a strategy in place to ensure that it will also be compliant with GDPR's provisions.
