England, one of our main trading partners is to get out of the EU. The British Prime Minister Theresa May this month officially advised the European Union of the British departure. Dutch entrepreneurs who do a lot of trade with England wait with bated breath the negotiations that will follow. And the question is whether, in particular, the EU wants to be the best deal out there.

What the consequences will be of Brexit for the Dutch and the English economy depends on the deal concluded between the European Union and the United Kingdom says Nikhil Datta, researcher at the London School of Economics. According to him, the damage can be limited if there actually is as little change as possible.
