There are currently no plans for EU or domestic legislation to ban the import of settlement products. The issue of settlement produce is a subject of ongoing work with our EU partners. This work includes steps to ensure that settlement products are correctly labelled to enable consumers to make informed decisions concerning the products they buy.
