    BCF, BASA Seminar Helps Industry Prepare for Brexit at Halfway Mark

    More than 80 delegates attended.

    BCF, BASA Seminar Helps Industry Prepare for Brexit at Halfway Mark
    Julie Girling MEP speaking at the BCF/BASA Halfway to Brexit Seminar
    04.19.18
    The British Coatings Federation (BCF) and the British Adhesives and Sealants Association (BASA) in April joined forces to host a “Halfway to Brexit” seminar at the Doubletree by Hilton in Nottingham to highlight the economic and political implications of Brexit on the global coatings and adhesives industries. The seminar was attended by more than 80 delegates, including representatives from both industries, the press and several government officials.
     
    The seminar marked the halfway point to Brexit, and with the October deadline for an agreement between the U.K. and the EU looming, both speakers and attendees highlighted the need to have a good deal for industry, which works both for the UK and European business community. 
     
    Speakers Richard Rumbelow (EEF) and Julie Girling MEP opened the seminar with a compelling look at the politics of Brexit and the impact it could have for chemical using industries. Girling gave a unique insight into negotiations as a working MEP, and the repercussions on industry of the U.K. not staying within the EU chemicals regulatory framework. Peter Smith from CEFIC highlighted the significant contribution the UK chemicals industry had made towards REACH, whilst, Jean-Marc Barki (FEICA) and Martin Engelmann (VdL) gave overviews of how Brexit will affect the coatings and adhesives industries in their countries and the EU, and all three participated in a panel discussion taking questions from the audience. A second panel discussion featured members of BCF and BASA including U-POL, Centre Colours, Jotun Paints, FSi, Hodgson Sealants and BASF. Elizabeth Shepherd (Eversheds Sutherland) and Richard Collin (BSI Group) also contributed with views on how Brexit might impact their business, standards and compliance and how they are working to prepare for March 2019.
     
    “As time progresses with the Brexit negotiations, more will become known with regard to the impact of Brexit, but until then the talks and discussions held at the seminar left delegates with food for thought in preparation for businesses within our sector,” said Ellen Daniels, head of Public Affairs and Policy at the BCF. “Many of our European colleagues highlighted that the U.K. is seen as one of the most pragmatic voices in the EU relating to chemical regulations, and the loss of the U.K. from the bloc will be felt across the continent.”
     
    “For BCF and BASA members, Brexit is hugely important, given the effects it could have on the U.K. industry as well as the global reach of trade. A key theme that emerged was to communicate regularly with supply chains, particularly as our industries have a significant amount of trade with the EU, both import and export... Our European speakers highlighted that Brexit is not just contained to the U.K. and has its impact will be felt by the EU economies,” added Lorna Williams, decretary of BASA. “The seminar has provided a better picture for delegates of the key negotiating deadlines for the U.K.’s departure from the EU and we heard about some of the preventative measures that could be put in place to counteract some of the potentially negative impacts on businesses.”
