Reacting to the engagement with Lord Frost today at Foyle Port, Chair, Bonnie Anley said:
“This was a welcome opportunity to convey the importance of streamlined trading arrangements and to show the development potential of Foyle Port to Lord Frost and his team.”
“We need political stability to both keep existing trade and attract new investment into this cross-border region. Our discussions focussed on ensuring the refinement of the NI Protocol and the post Brexit potential of a Northern Ireland Freeport. Freeport designation for Foyle Port, as part of the Government’s national levelling up policy across the UK, will allow us to maximise our strategic location.”
“The location of Foyle Port gives us a unique opportunity to be a business gateway to the UK, Europe and the rest of the trading world and is a prime location for an innovative trading zone. This will supplement the recent positive announcements on the likes of the North West City Deal.”
