SPS negotiations hold significant implications for devolved administrations and internal market challenges
Conclusion
SPS negotiations have significant implications for the devolved administrations. While the UK Government leads negotiations, it must take account of the specific needs and priorities of each nation, including regional conditions. Internal market challenges, such as those arising from England’s precision breeding legislation, could be mitigated by a UK–EU SPS agreement, provided alignment and carve-outs are carefully managed. (Conclusion, Paragraph 54)
