Default Trade agreements

|All but 2 of the top-10 trading partners of the UK belong to the
European Union. The UKs main trading partner in 2014 was Germany, which
accounted for 12.3% of all UK trade in that year. In second position was
the United States (9.5%), followed by the Netherlands (7.5%), China (7.3%
) and France (5.9%). Together, these 10 countries accounted for 61.4% of
UK trade in 2014.

Phew, that's a relief - the companies we would want agreements with are
mostly in the EU. Oh no! we are wanting to leave the EU.


Though the only EU country from that list which we have net exports to
is Ireland (Switzerland if you include EEA countries).
