IntroductionIn
the global economy, our economies are all interdependent.
Action
taken at home needs to be complemented with action taken
on the international stage - working with other Governments
- to have real impact.
The
UK is inextricably linked to the EU. More than half our
trade is with Europe. With 3 million jobs linked to this
trade.
Britain's
membership of the EU impacts positively on all of us. It
provides business with access to the world's largest and
richest market, which in turn boosts family incomes across
the UK; it guarantees fundamental rights for all throughout
our lives and it helps to protect every British consumer.
One
of the key roles of this Department is to work effectively
with our partners both at home and in Europe to ensure that
the EU continues to deliver benefits to all its citizens.
This
work takes many forms and covers many issues. You can find
