Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs written question – answered at on 1 September 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps the Government is taking to improve trade relations with the Republic of Macedonia.
We provide policy advice and political support for UK businesses operating, or seeking to operate, in Macedonia, and enjoy good co-operation with the Macedonian Government on this front. For example, we run periodic ‘British Business Forums' that connect businesses directly with Macedonian institutions, resulting in closer co-operation and opportunities for companies to raise concerns directly with the Macedonian Government.
The embassy has also conducted targeted interventions in support of British business. For example we have tackled corruption/bureaucracy that was blocking a major British company from accessing the market, and have successfully lobbied against protectionist legislation that prevented another British company from repatriating its revenue.
