BREXIT / OFFICIAL CONTROLS - The Food and Drink Federation responds to the government's latest border announcement

Responding to the government's latest border announcement, Ian Wright CBE, FDF Chief Executive said:

“The FDF welcomes this sensible and pragmatic step to ensure that food and drink continues to flow, and allows manufacturers access to the inputs and ingredients they need in order to continue producing the full range of products for UK shoppers and consumers.

“Government must now use this time to do everything it can to support UK food and drink exporters who continue to face huge difficulties moving goods into the EU. They must work constructively with the EU to address barriers to trade by improving the implementation of the trade agreement and streamlining processes.”
