As we take back control of our laws from the EU, we will set our own standards. When the Transition Period ends, we will remain a global leader in environmental protection and animal welfare standards, maintaining high quality produce for consumers at home and overseas.

HM Government’s reforms to agricultural subsidies are a domestic policy and we will uphold our support for farmers in all our trade negotiations. The Secretary of State for International Trade regularly discusses trade negotiations with the Secretary of State for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs.
