Mapping EU-UK Import Dependencies and Shared Vulnerabilities

Recent supply-chain disruptions and rising geoeconomic tensions have highlighted the importance of understanding critical supply-chain risks anddependencies. This priority is reflected in both the EU’s Economic Security Strategy and the UK’s Trade Strategy. Since the UK left the EU in 2020, cooperation between the two sides on such economic security risks has been limited. Identifying areas of shared vulnerabilities can provide a valuable starting point for renewed cooperation in this field.
