A law to revive? British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Monday January 31 a bill to turn the page more quickly on legislation inherited from the European Union (EU). Today in an extremely delicate position because of a scandal of parties organized in Downing Street under confinement, the 57-year-old Conservative leader wants to convince of the virtues of Brexit, while the benefits of the latter are slow to materialize.
This “Brexit Freedoms” bill aims to facilitate the process, already underway, to modify or abandon and replace the laws inherited from the European Union. According to the government, these reforms will save British companies a billion pounds (1.2 billion euros) in “paperwork” and “regulatory burden”.
But many of these companies are instead complaining about the obstacles created by Brexit. According to a survey of the British manufacturing sector published recently, two-thirds of companies surveyed believe that Brexit has hampered their business to varying degrees. Half of them fear that they will face new difficulties this year, with the full entry into force of customs controls.
