Abstract

In order to ensure that there are new and stable trade agreements to replace the previous trade agreements, mediation strategies between automakers, the European Union, and the UK should be explored so that new tariffs on cars do not negatively and drastically change the UK's economic landscape after Britain exits from the European Union. In Part II, this Note discusses the pre-Brexit and current tariff situation in the UK as a member of the European Union, explains what mediation is, the methods of mediation, the history of mediation, and the benefits of using mediation. Part III discusses the implications of leaving the European Union with failed negotiations and the potential impact on car prices. This section also discusses why Brexit negotiations have failed thus far and how automakers' international trade concerns have been resolved in the past. Finally, Part IV proposes that a mediator would be the best option to prevent negotiation failures and reach a successful agreement between the European Union, the UK, and the automobile industry.
