Horticulture: UK Trade with EU
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what discussions his Department has had with the horticultural industry on the potential impact of EU-UK border processes on biosecurity.
Answered by Daniel Zeichner
Defra continues to monitor and review the impact of the controls. We are working closely with industry, trade partners and enforcement agencies to minimise disruption and costs to trade, while continuing to protect our biosecurity.
Defra engages with the horticultural industry through the Plant Health Portal and Plant Health Advisory Forum.
