Britain and the European Union plan to send a letter to the rest of the World Trade Organization’s 164 members next week, setting out Brexit plans that have already been rejected by seven key agricultural exporters, trade officials said on Thursday, Reuters reports.
"In leaving the EU, we will need to update the terms of our WTO membership where, at present, our commitments are applied through the EU as a whole," a spokeswoman for Britain’s Trade Ministry said.
"The UK wants to ensure a smooth transition which minimizes the disruption to our trading relationships with other WTO members."
