Conclusion
The UK will no longer be subject to EU law following the end of the transition period. We welcome the fact that all current EU food production standards have been rolled into UK law and the strong assurances from UK ministers that these high standards will not be diluted.

Our high standards of food safety will not be watered down in the pursuit of a trade deal. High standards and high quality are what our domestic and global customers demand, and that is what we will provide. It is vital that we explore new trading opportunities, but these should not mean a dilution of the standards for which British food is world renowned. • Any agreement must respect the autonomy and sovereignty of both parties. The UK will decide how we set and maintain our own standards and regulations and operate our own autonomous SPS regime.
