Food: UK Trade with EU

Question for Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether any new checks are proposed for imported food from the EU after 29 March 2019.

There would be no change on the day the UK leaves the EU to current controls of imports of animal products or high risk food for imports direct from the EU.

The Government is currently considering what controls should be applied to imports in the future, beyond our immediate exit from the EU.
