Companies will face disruption to their supply chains if Britain leaves the European Union without securing continued access to the bloc’s single market or a customs union, EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier (pictured) told a German newspaper, writes Joseph Nasr.

“Should the British government decide in favour of a customs union with us, which is still possible, things would be much easier,” he told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung newspaper in an interview.

“In any case I advise industry to make their supply chains Brexit-proof,” he said. Asked about a possible extension of the negotiations beyond an informal October deadline, Barnier said: “We don’t need more time. What we need are political decisions."
