Britain is a member of the GPA, whose members open up their combined $1.7-trillion government procurement markets to each other’s firms, by virtue of its EU membership
Diplomats agreed Britain’s continuing membership post-Brexit in principle in November, saying few changes would be needed and GPA members had an interest in keeping Britain within the club.“Today’s decision underlines our determination to minimize any disruption, however we leave the European Union,” British Ambassador Julian Braithwaite said.
