The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether he has made an assessment of the potential impact of the European Union Entry/Exit System on seafood exports.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner

The Government recognises the importance of seafood exports to the economies of many coastal communities around the United Kingdom. We will tackle trade barriers through seeking to negotiate a veterinary/SPS agreement. We will continue to work closely with seafood exporters to ensure that they can continue to sell their world-class produce to markets around the world.
