UK and EU finalize deal to end Brexit checks on food and animal products
Guardian World1 min read110 words
The UK and EU have agreed to a deal removing Brexit checks on food and animal product imports and exports, including items such as sausages, cheese, leather goods, and flowers. The agreement is expected to come into force in the first quarter of 2028. This move aims to ease trade rules that were introduced in 2022.
The deal is anticipated to benefit British food exporters, whose trade with Europe has declined by a third since 2019. Additionally, it will allow smaller UK retailers, such as delicatessens, to resume purchasing smaller batches of cheese and wines, a practice that had become unfeasible due to the costs associated with the previous checks.
