9629: IRISH CONSUMERS TO PAY MORE FOR UK GOODS IF NO DEAL IS SECURED WITH THE EU

The European Consumer Centre says the public will pay significantly more for goods from Britain if no trade deal is struck between the EU and UK.

The Centre says a whole new range of tariffs will be imposed on imported British items under World Trade Organisation terms.

Talks between the UK and EU on a future relationship are ongoing in Brussels with no sign of a deal imminent.

Cyril Sullivan of the European Consumer Centre says prices on some UK-imported items could increase by as much as 40 per cent.
