Not Addressed
The breadth of the Trade and Agriculture Commission’s recommendations is extensive– covering strategic policy, standards, export support, staffing, marketing, human rights, environment and animal welfare. The report warrants a serious, considered response, not a rushed one. We’re continuing to discuss the key issues raised and will publish our response as soon as it is ready. We can assure the committee that the response will explicitly uphold and affirm the Government’s commitment to maintaining and protecting the UK’s high agri-food safety standards. We will not pursue any trade deals that would undermine UK farmers unfairly or compromise those high standards.
