Veterinary Services: UK Trade with EU
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what progress he has made on securing an EU-UK veterinary agreement.
Answered by Daniel Zeichner
In line with our manifesto commitment, the Government is committed to resetting our EU relationship, including by seeking to negotiate a SPS agreement. We have been clear that an SPS agreement could boost trade and deliver significant benefits on both sides. We will not be providing a running commentary on discussions with the EU. We cannot provide further information at this stage whilst negotiations are continuing.
