African exporters and entrepreneurs are set to benefit from a new package of UK trade reforms that are designed to simplify access to the UK market and strengthen economic ties between the UK and developing countries. According to a statement issued by the British High Commission upgrades include simplified rules of origin, which will enable all developing countries trading schemes, including those further up the value chain, such as Nigeria, to source inputs on finished goods from across the African continent. To talk to us further on this we are now joined on the line by Executive Director at Trade Law Centre  Trudi Hartzenberg.
