Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
What recent discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on preparations for meat exports to the EU after the transition period.
We are implementing processes to ensure that meat can continue to be exported to the EU from 1 January 2021, in line with EU import rules. We are hosting webinars to help traders familiarise themselves with those export processes, including for the Association Independent Meat Suppliers and International Meat Trade Association. We have also developed a Groupage Export Facilitation Scheme to support the export of products from complex but stable supply chains, including certain meat products and preparations.
