UK's Business Secretary Greg Clark informed car manufacturer Nissan that UK is seeking a deal with EU for car manufacturers not be subjected to tariffs.

In the aftermath of Brexit, Clark made assurances to Nissan and lessen its concerns about Brexit and proceed with its plans to build cars in Sunderland. The government is being pressured to reveal what assurances were given to Nissan as they might have repercussions for future taxpayers.

After seeking the deal with EU, Clark informed Nissan he was confident in securing the deal, which can boost competitive environment for car manufacturers in Britain.

This has some implications on what Prime Minister Theresa May is seeking from EU after Britain's exit from the group. It shows that the UK still wants free trade with a single market and customs union features.

In addition, the Prime Minister seeks tighter immigration controls and some distancing from European court of justice oversights, changes that some sectors in Brussels believe may not be possible.

Clark has made it clear that UK's intention is to negotiate with European countries and agree on common interests after constructive dialogue. UK seeks continuous dealings with EU markets without the need for tariffs from both ends and to lessen governmental restrictions on trade.

It is also implied that sought after reliefs include not only the car manufacturing industry but other industry sectors in the UK. Clark said that he had not written Nissan any guarantee regarding the deal but promised to continue providing funds for training, grants and research to make the industry competitive.

Clark emphasized that he cannot predict the results of the negotiations with the European countries, but the government is committed to formulate government strategies to make it the industry more competitive.

Keir Stamer, Parliament Labor minister, has criticized the deal since the government has given more details to Nissan that what was provided to Parliament.
