Financial Times - German carmakers press for delay in Brexit rules on tariff-free access to UK

Summary of the front page

The Financial Times splashes on the news that German automotive manufacturers are pushing for a delay in Brexit rules that could stop them having tariff-free access to the UK market.

It comes after the owner of Vauxhall called for the UK government to renegotiate the Brexit trade deal, because of concerns that rules on electric vehicle batteries could threaten future production here. The FT says German companies are worried that Europe’s battery ind­ustry hasn’t developed fast enough and tariffs would be “a significant competitive disadvantage” for the European car industry in the UK market.

The front page pictures the recent flooding in Italy and reports the climate alarm as the recent flooding and landslides have led to the cancellation of F1 Grad Prix.
