For over three years, RATS has worked hard to identify, campaign and propose solutions to national and international government and legislative bodies on issues affecting cruisers due to Brexit.

Robin Baron, Chair of RATS, commented, "We are pleased to share the latest Brexit update with CA members. There have been some significant changes in the past year including a positive outcome on some, but not all, aspects of Returned Goods Relief. We continue to persist in our endeavours to ensure the cruising community enjoys its freedoms.

"The webinar is a fantastic opportunity to catch up with the latest situation, including examples of case studies and learning from the questions of other members. We look forward to CA members joining us."
