Airbus worried about 'people movement' post-Brexit
A senior vice-president at the aerospace firm Airbus has said the company is "more worried about limits on the movement of employees than tariffs on goods", following Brexit.
Katherine Bennett was talking to Radio 4's World at One programme after the European Union's chief Brexit negotiator warned that there could be no 'frictionless trade' between Britain and the EU if it leaves the single market.
She explained Airbus is a company with a large percentage of employees who are non-EU citizens, so it is vital to explain to the government and the EU Commission "the importance of that integrated arrangement being able to continue."
