Trade and industry departments aim to promote the long term health of the UK economy. The Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) is responsible for promoting productivity, enterprise, competition and trade. Trade promotion overseas is a joint responsibility of the BERR and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO). The FCO also promotes British culture through the British Council, which has offices in 109 countries.
