With negotiations for a comprehensive Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) agreement with the EU now well underway, Defra are keen to hear your views.
Having indicated that they are committed to engage with industry stakeholders throughout the process, as a starting point, the BFFF met with Defra officials this week to open discussions on engagement requirements and possible approaches.
But we need your support.
Thinking back to our EU exit, what worked well? what didn’t work? and what could be done better?
Defra want to hear your views on the SPS agreement, particularly around:
· What you think you will need in terms of information to implement it?
· What do you see as the opportunities?
· Are there any case studies and/or sector specific considerations?
· Is there any other support you need to make the most of the deal? Members are encouraged to email [email protected] with any feedback. However, please email [email protected] should you wish the BFFF to raise anything on your behalf.
