I’m not sure if you twigged it yet, but the news reports opened as topics for discussion here on TVF are selected from a wide range of news reports by the forum’s administration, they are not the entirety of news reports nor indeed the entirety of news reports from Reuters.

 

I suspect the answer to your whataboutary questions could be determined by reading wider news sources, they are certainly not questions for which I owe you an answer.

Your reply has more holes than a 50 year old piece of Swiss cheese.????????????

Well nothing goes better with cheese than a good pickle, and Brexit has put UK cheese exporters in a very fine pickle.

Wonder how long it took Reuters to search out someone for this article.

 

If I want, I could find and interview someone very disappointed that Biden was elected and saying they are thinking of killing themselves.

 

This is all part of Psych-Ops..........otherwise known as "Propaganda" or "Media Manipulation" - well used in China and North Korea and Singapore and many other countries..........reporting only what you want to report..........to suit your agenda.

 

How about all the massive investments in the UK in the past months creating tens of thousands of new jobs.............awwwwwww........Reuters not want to report that ?

Can you still buy French cheeses in the UK?

Mr Spurrell thinks that the lack of an exemption from costly certificates for direct consumer sales was an oversight in Boris Johnson’s Brexit trade agreement, as negotiators rushed to seal the deal at the end of 2020.

The UK or the EU?

 

The agreement that the UK made with the EU.

 

What this and other conditionality in the agreement mean is that only large consignments of the same stuff (uniform consignments) can be practically sent. So you can send a container of cheeses to one customer but not one cheese to 1,000 customers, as before.

 

The outcome is that only large producers will be able to export. All those specialised companies or small companies, such as those manufacturing specialised engineering parts, will have a lot of trouble and cost.

That's just a small example : trade-wise UK starts feeling the Brexit-pain already and it will effect UK economy worse day by day. As this article shows: the first ones have started to realise the benefits of being EU member . Just give the British some more time until even the last one will understand.

As everybody in the entire world in business knows, already for decades: all dairy, so inclusive cheese, all meat, all fish, all eggs, coming from "third countries" need a veterinary check by the EU. Whether you have a 30 tons shipment or a 30 gram shipment ( in a sandwich). Why so many British manufacturers, after 47 years EU membership, and 4 1/2 years after the Brexit referendum still do not know ?  So, simple solution, as every tradesman do: send a full truck to a warehouse inside the EU and organize the distribution inside the EU from that EU warehouse. Why Boris and his genious did not include that in his EU treaty ?

1) I hope European personal-use food exports to the UK are being subjected to the same ridiculous requirements.

2) Surely the vet could be put on retainer / bulk sign certs for all the cheeses from the same herd...

1) You think, the UK accepts any meat, fish, dairy from "third countries"without any veterinarian check into the UK ? They learnt theri lesson with the mouth & claw disease a decade ago

2) For me, in international food business since 1977, not to understand why not arranged that a year ago.

These EU regulations are for ALL "third country" origins, not only for British origin.

I presume French and other EU cheese + veterinary products simply go by full truck load to an UK warehouse. As every tradesperson would do.
