For over 25 years, the BCC has facilitated business and personal connections between the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and Great Britain.
The former, a founding member of what is now the European Union. The latter, becoming a significant partner before opting to leave in 2020.
"Britain is leaving the European Union today. The BCC is here to stay!"
As members of the European Union, "Britain and Luxembourg shared rules and regulations, a working environment, travel opportunities, and global responsibilities. There were of course challenges and differences of opinion as well.W
As of Saturday 1 February, this will no longer be the case, following Britain's formal departure from the European Union.
Changes for businesses seeking to trade or invest between Britain and Luxembourg will be limited at the outset, as foundations are yet to be set for the end of the withdrawal period at the end of the year.
"What is clear," says Eischen, "is the British Chamber's determination to meet the challenge of this new trading environment head-on."
Eischen indicates that far from reducing their role, the BCC will stay true to their values; "More than ever, we are committed to doing whatever we can to help our members navigate the new regulatory waters between Great Britain and the Grand Duchy as they develop."
