BMPA puts the case for EU alignment to MPs
This week, BMPA's CEO Nick Allen appeared before the newly established All Party Parliamentary Group on Europe at a meeting to discuss potential SPS alignment with the EU. The objective was to put forward the meat industry's unique challenges with the current post-Brexit system, which has added cost and complexity to trade, including within our own UK borders between GB and Northern Ireland.
We've got a long read for you which sets out BMPA's position on alignment and explains the expensive bureaucracy that applies to meat exports, what that's costing the industry how it's driving food prices and damaging UK competitiveness. It also explains how formal alignment with EU rules would remove all those problems. Read what Nick presented to MPs in our latest article.
