9:33 am
boys are actually working a lot harder to conflict with them. water tanks in the truck keep the shrimp fresh until the next day. nearest sounds later, reload the shellfish onto a spanish truck at the port a smooth journey to the e. u as a central for the family and the fisherman. i think we're just going to go florida . we keep in mind that i can't see they're going to give up eaten kelvin for the tradition. insane deposited in the u. k. u k. kids, i think it's stronger and stronger at the moment. so the quality narrative father taught her how to handle the live shellfish in the thing that doesn't like it, which is why i would try christ quickly and we can't stop. and they don't often times moving to days without, without changing the war can 2 and
9:34 am
a half days maximum. and then we'll have to just start to rock out. then we get stuck to the border control for too long. like you did that 1st thing after breakfast, that's enough because she filled out the form by hand. that trip took 50 hours instead of the usual $24.00 resulting in a sizable loss. she doesn't want to see a repeat of that fiasco. so her daughter is helping to digitize all the data narrows. now employees her full time due to all the extra work i know, 9377, look at some in her family were in favor of breck said, others were against it. she was maris voted to lead the you to my chair laughing chris, 1.3366.6. yeah, i think i was a little naive. i knew we have some changes. i didn't expect quite
9:35 am
a new, the paperwork will change. i didn't realize quite how drastically 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 as a truck drivers. but recently he's had to put up with
9:36 am
a lot of hassle. the knock narr claremore checks and all that. everything takes longer in that sites on. but if i get, i'm lucky, i might wait 3 days just for the paperwork and talk. sometimes it's ready straight away. sometimes it takes a few hours. but if i'm unlocking it can take 3 days, but i target the last time he hopes to be back from the u. k. in 3 days, he has plans when he gets home, my kinda of whole and i want to take up my children and do something fun with him. but cooking baking the 150 drivers in the company face the same problems as colon many field stressed out . it's difficult to make plans or have family time more morning with the era, the papers for my next trip on thing. the next up managing partner horst caught my
9:37 am
eye, is frustrated with the new trade agreement. a round trip from germany to the u. k. and back now takes at least one day longer. unfair to lincoln on, but 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 moment one trucks been stuck in france for 2 days because the paperwork wasn't correct. one, then none of our planning works off. 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 it's fully fast. as i be to the end of the google gang scripts,
9:38 am
it's been tons of extra work for our team. since the end of the breakfast transition period, there's new customs cleared up here to go. so every day it takes about 2 hours, longer per person who plays on, on the face, face on the leg. and all these extra costs are just for the additional bureaucracy we will contact the company must now charge 10 to 20 percent more per transport order. so that their business stays profitable. column francis has a 2000 kilometer journey ahead of him through the euro tunnel, the northern england and back. yeah, sometimes you do go a little bit through law when it's just for your own you, you might end up talking to yourself. not too bad about when you're on c a. so when you haven't, even on the self, the question is the problem, the colon voted for the u. k. to remain in the
9:39 am
e. u. 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 who a manufacturer in northern england here in london and the bustling district of kentish town. ed's art vanderbilt has found the place he called home half 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 e. u. 2 years ago, he founded an online business selling knitwear made of new zealand wool with his brand. she pink ed's ard wants to revolutionize the fashion industry,
9:40 am
making clothing that is not only c o 2 neutral, but c o 2 negative. but the brags that agreement is a huge hindrance, especially because a 3rd of his customers live in the e u. we need to make the business work tight margins, which we historically been able to do. and then suddenly you're faced with these extra costs of breaks it and you, your whole business model is thrown slightly and chaos at that point. you know? and that became again very hard for us to stomach as a business. and that's why we're having to really take a hard look at how we should do with europe and how we deal with exporting to europe as well. he's frustrated that although the government promised smooth trade with the you, the exact opposite has happened. he and his business partner now feel as though they constantly must fix a system that pre brackson was unbroken. and
9:41 am
when michael, i think it was interesting, if we're thinking back now over the year when we would prompt him so often of email and 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 on 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 is 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 breaks and issues. at heathrow,
9:42 am
airport heads are rents out space for his clothing brand and a new energy efficient warehouse. he's not the only entrepreneur who is dedicated to being carbon neutral. he sends 1000 clothing items from here to the e u every month. but nobody knows how business will go on with mainland europe. in the initial period, after breakfast when life we saw customers receiving bills about to 80 pounds of import duties, which of course we are, garments around $160.00 pounds, almost 50 percent, the value of the government on top of it because of the import usage. currently, what we're doing is we now have a bit of a better set up, but still it has actually increased our margins considerably. now about 20 pounds additional cost per order to send stuff into europe, which once again, when you are selling items at the cost we price, we are, it is not simply something that we can stomach for long. the
9:43 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 catch, 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 wealth 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
9:44 am
a 100 kilograms of lobsters from her every week. she hopes to accumulate more domestic customers. but it's also important to the fisherman to continue selling their catch in mainland europe. without narratives personal commitment, many here would be in by most of the fishermen voted to leave the you and the brakes had referendum. they're pleased with the result provided that they gain control over their fishing waters and can decide how to catch their fish. for the me, once all the shellfish are registered, nearest takes care of the paperwork. before the start of the year, she simply gave the driver a hand written note. now she has to set up her own office in the harbor each time a day after leaving germany, colon francis is steering his jumbo truck through narrow british streets. he's
9:45 am
already delivered the car body. now he's picking up 50 mattresses to bring back to germany. time for a short break, your plan, his financial care as soon as possible. so all the paperwork from this side in 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 have hired to collins employer to deal with the formalities on their behalf . okay. i was i hollan is happy with that. it's less likely something will go wrong if his employer handles all the customs paperwork. his next stop will be right before the channel
9:46 am
tunnel. if everything keeps running smoothly, he'll see his daughter by lunch time tomorrow dial jody. 2 hello darling, how you doing? you happy. that's all good. i'm coming home. i've got a few of the things you like from england. yes, you'll mint chocolate. frazzled. chocolate? yes you are. and then big ago and i shall see you tomorrow or sunday. okay, darling. i'm jealous. bye bye. while crocket all of you, let me choose all in buy kind of a weird subject really. i'm not exactly a 100 percent. sure on how it's going to go. now that we've left, whether it's going to work out better for you or worse is still to be seeing
9:47 am
just one of those things where everyone's going to adoption. hopefully everything will work out in london and across the country. many x 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, $1.00 and $5.00 small companies has already done that or planned 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 sense. and it is to your actually, you know, we've,
9:48 am
we've also had free trade of europe for loss, for over 50 years. service what we've all generation, that's what we're used to. sorry, it does seem crazy. it's much easier for us to send stuff to america. and it does to store and funds carney cheapens wrong, much as a hall, this gets political, is that it was a power play, essentially one poach johnson. and the light of power or de requirements to consolidate the can services fractions that will bring at the time. and as is where we'll paying for unfortunately, just as something as stupid as the future is uncertain. for both of them. innovation and jobs are at stake to the news back in wales at the fish guard harbor show was yesterday german day. mike phillips
9:49 am

9:52 am
a stupid era. but that stupid era could stop here at the fair report. and that's the end of that. and so in the room, in the meantime, her sons reload the shelf onto the truck, headed to spain. they prepared a total of $2.00 tons of shellfish. for this export, the veterinarian checks and signed every certificate. he too, could make a mistake until both understand the requirements is that the signatures are in a different color. all any little pop in black. it's just that i yes, i fancy read. i suppose. i don't know. i see read on the daily basis. yeah. i know there is now page $500.00 pounds for the paper,

9:56 am
pages. yes. a long time. more than 12 hours. more than 2 hours. your best bet is to come back tomorrow. everything else apart from just now was all right. obviously trophy can take a time to load, has obviously pushed it back to this happening now. but before breaks it, i would have been at the train already. i would have already been on the train all parked up folks and ready to go over 1st thing in the morning and get home. but all this kind of paperwork is unfortunately made it. i little bit of a wait in time right now. i'm now i need to find someone to park, have a break, come back again in the morning and see what happens. the companies and customers have to bear the additional transport cars. colon also has to pay a price as he won't see his family until a day later than planned. nearest
9:57 am
edwards meanwhile, is relieved that her truck made it through. an employee in portsmouth was able to print out the missing paper. but still, she has to shoulder the additional costs for the export business herself and deal with all the red tape. how the baby go back to afford it all. she has to sacrifice her other source of income, her cows. she's planning to sell them one by one. if it hadn't happened, i wouldn't be selling because i'd, i'd be learning the to this. this is like, i have been for 7 years in tandem. because effects it's, i'm selling the house now to support the shellfish business. and we'll give that the best shot we can. nevertheless,
9:58 am
maris stands by her decision to vote to leave the e u. i still thing came from the out of the club. we still work closely with our european neighbors, and i think that's really, really important. we always work together. i can't see why that has to stop just because we're out. i really, you know, the whole low leads to work together, whether you're in or you're out. and that's how i feel. but one in, for small british businesses has stopped exporting to the you, the extra costs that have been immense for industry wholesalers and consumers. and they'll remain a challenge going forward. the
