Government’s new 21 point flowchart for exports of meat and dairy to EU after a No Deal Brexit... currently would consist of driving produce through tunnel - now this requires UK EORI, EU EORI, EHC, GB Health mark, correct BIP, TRACES, tariff, checks/ payment, vets, inspection:
Problems here
- aren’t or certainly weren’t enough vets... vast majority of vets working in this capacity are non British nationals/ EU nationals.
- nor council inspectors
- nor customs agents
- & concerns foreign refrigerated lorries relied on for exports won’t risk delays
new vote in EU committee called ScoPAFF required for listed status - in theory should be formality, but not scheduled yet.

However industry figure told me April decision was underpinned by regulatory commitments.
Now fear Govt’s reg divergence plans might complicate decision.
