US EditionEU wants ‘Nigel Farage clause’ as part of Brexit reset talks: Report
The EU demands a termination clause in the Brexit reset veterinary trade deal to secure compensation for border reinstatement costs if the UK withdraws, aiming to deter future cancellations.

- Reform UK and Conservative leaders have reacted by saying both parties would cancel the arrangement if in power, while enabling legislation is planned this year to implement reset measures.
- Trade groups point out that a 2024 study suggests the deal could boost UK food and drink exports by 22%, but dynamic alignment with animal and plant product rules may lock exporters into future changes.
