Maros Sefcovic, EU's new trade chief responsible for post-Brexit negotiations
The European Union's new trade chief responsible for post-Brexit negotiations has told a US Media house a pan-European area is something it could consider as part of reset discussions between the UK and EU.
Maros Sefcovic referred to the idea of Britain joining the Pan-Euro-Mediterranean Convention (PEM).
These are common rules that allow parts and ingredients for manufacturing supply chains to be sourced from across dozens of countries in and around Europe and North Africa to be used in tariff-free trade.
Downing Street has indicated such an agreement would not cross the government's "red lines" for its relationship with the EU.
