   Claims the 'UK Chamber of Commerce issued approximately 70,000 carnets in 2024, four times the pre-Brexit volume.' No public source corroborates this specific figure or multiplier, and there is no single 'UK Chamber of Commerce' that issues carnets (issuance runs through the London Chamber of Commerce and other regional chambers under UK NATACO). This precise, unsourced statistic repeats the same unverified figure used elsewhere on this site. The references list dates the Windsor Framework to 'December 2023.' The Windsor Framework was announced and agreed on 27 February 2023 (UK PM Sunak and European Commission President von der Leyen), formally adopted by the EU-UK Joint Committee on 24 March 2023, with most provisions taking effect from 1 October 2023. December 2023 does not correspond to any milestone in its actual timeline.
