10:34 am

10:35 am
a new the paper change. i didn't realize quite how drastically or significantly that would be. and i still believe that long term it's a good thing. me, rex, it is also putting the german logistics sector under pressure. exports from the e. u to the u. k. now take much longer once a week, colon francis drives from north ryan westphalia to the u. k. and back again. his employer specializes in transports to england. collin, a native britain likes his job. he was stationed nearby as a soldier for a long time. he chose to stay in germany to raise his 4 children and retrained the truck drivers. but recently he's had to put up with a lot of hassle,

10:37 am
around trip from germany to the u. k. and back now takes at least one day longer, unfair, it's thinking um, but like we don't have enough vehicles for the same amount of freight. now a truck is gone for a full day or if something goes wrong, one few days longer, i toggling the movement, but one trucks been stuck in france for 2 days because the paperwork wasn't correct . then none of our planning we're planning on off. i mean, the biggest headaches are with imports from the u. k. there's not enough staff to prepare the necessary paperwork. that's why the company no longer accepts orders where there's bound to be chaos, the customer. everything changed when the u. k officially left the u on january 31st 2020 on the computer england, our whole england department over their bachelor's customs ever since fully fast
10:38 am
to the end of the who will gone script. it's been tons of extra work for our team since the end of the breakfast transition period. there's new customs clearance here to go. so every day it takes about 2 hours, longer per person for clothes on, on the face based on the letter. and all these extra costs are just for the additional bureaucracy to the campus. most the company must now charge 10 to 20 percent more per transport order so that their business days profitable. collin francis has a 2000 kilometer journey ahead of him through the euro tunnel, the northern england and back. yeah, sometimes you go a little bit too long when it's just for your own you, you might end up talking to yourself or traffic. that's not too bad. when you see yourself when you have yourself a question is the problem, the colon voted for the u. k. to remain in the you
10:39 am
some of the rules with bricks it seem a bit strange, a bit weirds, i'm don't know whether it's necessary or unnecessary book is what it is. unfortunately, the journey to the u. k. is smooth color must 1st deliver 6 new car bodies to a manufacturer in northern england here in london and the bustling district of kentish town as our vendor vick has found the place he calls home. taff, british half dutch heads are never wants to move away from the u. k. even if he's frustrated by the government, he voted to remain in the u. 2 years ago, he founded an online business selling knitwear made of new zealand wool with his brand sheep ink. ed's ard wants to revolutionize the fashion industry,

10:41 am
when michael, i think it was interesting if we're thinking back now over the year when prompted so often email an over letters that we were getting through the door to be prepared. if you remember, we spoke to multiple techs advisors, experts in the field, and they said, i'm really sorry guys. we cannot help you because we have to work for multiple talk information like 1300 pages and we still through and it's not very clear. so come back and generate and i think that was what was so frustrating about this whole process was you know, you running the operational side of the business that you wanting to be prepared and wanting to have a plan of action simply not knowing what that plan of action could be what irritates edouard. besides the unforeseen, extra costs is the amount of time wasted on breakfast issued

10:43 am
back in wales at the fish guard harbor. nearest edwards come here once a week and 70 and there's a lot to get done and quickly the truck carrying live goods to her customer in spain is due to set off in 2 hours. in that time she has to reload the shellfish from her own truck. good morning, chris, one and she also has to handle her fisherman's cache, including sorting all the information she needs for custom. about 300 fishermen live in the surrounding villages. the e u is the largest trading partner for the welsh coastal region. near it has been doing business with a new british customer, a celebrity chef since january. after reading about her truck getting stuck at custom, he started buying

10:45 am
narrow british streets. he's already delivered the car body. now he's picking up 50 mattresses to bring back to germany. time for a short break plan, his initial peer as soon as possible. so all the paperwork from this side of life and then head towards employee so i can get my customs paperwork. hopefully that all goes quite quickly. the customs requirements are too much of a hassle for the small mattress company, so they've hired a collins employer to deal with the formalities on their behalf. okay. i was curious. i holland is happy with that. it's less likely something will go wrong. his employer handles all the customs paperwork his next stop will be right before the channel tunnel if everything keeps running smoothly,

10:47 am
just one of those things where everyone's going to adoption. hopefully everything work home in london and across the country. many ex borders are forced to rethink their business strategies. exports to the e. u fell 40 percent in january 2021, an unprecedented drop of ash and brand founder ads. our vendor vague and his warehouse logistics partner are considering moving parts of their business to mainland europe. one in 5 small companies has already done that or plan to do so. ads are says that would be preferable in the long run to paying an additional 5 percent on top of every order which is kind of what's crazy. the moment that the us is easier for us to, since it is to your actually, you know,
10:48 am
we've, we've had a free trade of the year for los, for over 50 years. so what we've generation is what we're used to. sorry, it does seem crazy. that is much easier for us to send stuff to america and adults to next door and fonts. carney cheap is wrong. the much, you know, breaks it as a hall. this gets political, is that it was a power play, essentially one part johnson and the lights of power or de requirements to consolidate the conservative fractions that will bring at the time. and that was where will paying for unfortunately just as something as stupid as that the future is uncertain. for both of them. innovation and jobs are at stake to use back in wales at the fish guard harbor shown was yesterday. and i would
