The UK government has delayed health and safety checks on food imports from the European Union for the fifth time in three years amid fears that the additional red tape will push up food prices and disrupt vital supplies.
The UK government has delayed health and safety checks on food imports from the European Union for the fifth time in three years amid fears that the extra controls will push up food prices and disrupt vital supplies. The latest foot-dragging demonstrates that Britain is still struggling to come to terms with the painful consequences of leaving the European Union in January 2020, which has piled costs on UK businesses and weighed on trade, investment and, ultimately, economic growth.
But industry groups also urged the government to provide certainty for businesses, which have repeatedly prepared for checks only to see deadlines deferred. Although the delay was the “right decision,” Brennan said it was “yet another blow” to the government’s credibility, and “this confusion at the top” would make it even more difficult to ensure EU businesses were ready to abide by the new rules.
