Agriculture: UK Trade with EU
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what financial assistance the Government plans to make available to businesses required to make operational or regulatory changes as a result of a future UK-EU Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreement.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
The Government is working to support businesses to prepare for future changes to sanitary and phytosanitary arrangements with the European Union. Negotiations are ongoing. An agreement will make agrifood trade with our biggest market easier, cutting costs and reducing red tape for British businesses, while enabling quicker, smoother trade. The Government is committed to transparent engagement with industry and will review what information can be appropriately shared with stakeholders throughout this transition.
