UK and EU Reach Draft Agreement on Food Trade
The draft would cut costly veterinary and customs checks on British food and drink exports if the UK agrees to follow EU food rules.
- Britain and the European Union have reached a draft agreement on food and agriculture trade, eliminating most veterinary and customs checks on British exports to the EU market.
- Under the proposed arrangement, the European Union would drop most controls on British food and drink exports in exchange for Britain adopting European Union production standards, addressing barriers since Brexit.
- Northern Ireland would see reduced impact from the Irish sea border, while Ireland remains the number one market for British food and drink exports, making the agreement particularly significant for the island.
- The deal requires Britain to adopt European Union food laws—a concept of "dynamic alignment" the Conservative Party under former Prime Minister Boris Johnson firmly rejected during original Brexit negotiations. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham denied seeking freedom of movement restoration.
- At a summit on November 20, European Union and British officials are expected to finalize deals modifying the original Brexit agreement, with The BBC reporting the proposal marks a significant step in streamlining commerce between the regions.
