MPs launch inquiry into Brexit border delays for meat exports
29 January 2021 |
Exports of seafood and meat products to the EU have been disrupted since the start of the new year
MPs are launching an urgent inquiry into the disruption of UK meat exports to the EU since the end of the Brexit transition period on 1 January.
Food export businesses of all sizes have reported losing money and trade due to an increase in bureaucratic border processes.
The British Meat Processors Association (BMPA) recently warned that meat companies were seeing a serious and sustained loss of trade with the EU.
The House of Commons EFRA Committee s inquiry aims to scrutinise the government s response and see how support can be increased for exporters.
January has seen Brexit set in motion for real but for many businesses, operations have ground to a standstill as they struggle to shift goods across new borders.
With the UK now outside the EU s Single Market and Customs Union, importers and exporters on both sides of the English Channel say the new rules have brought a nightmare of red tape and extra costs.
Paperwork and border checks have led to seafood being left stranded in ports, and empty shelves in some supermarkets as deliveries failed to materialise.
Supplies from Great Britain to Northern Ireland have also been hit as the need to keep an open land border on the island of Ireland means the North is largely following EU rules.

LONDON, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) News of rotting British pig heads in the Dutch port of Rotterdam as a result of post-Brexit paperwork made recent headlines. For many in the industry, these delays at the border with the European Union (EU) could have a knock-on effect on business.
Nick Allen, chief executive of the British Meat Processors Association which represents much of the larger meat processors in Britain, told Xinhua that these were teething problems , but the customs system needs to be revamped to address the concerns of the industry.
