What the petition asks
To negotiate an extension to the permitted short term business activities under the Trade and Cooperation Agreement. Creating a free work permit for the Photographic Industry with an agreement for a Carnet exemption for photographic equipment, allowing Visa free travel throughout the 27 EU states.
The UK Photographic Industry is one of the largest in the world and has suffered due to Covid restrictions, as the Brexit transition period ends we now face issues working in the EU. Each separate country is likely to ask for a visa, work permit and equipment carnet for each visit, dramatically increasing costs.
I and many others travel in the EU many times a year for work and this will have an adverse affect on our already troubled industry, with many jobs simply not taking place to cut costs.
