Agri-food deal in UK-EU agreement will reduce sea border impact

Some assets will be allowed to “flow freely again” between Northern Ireland and Great Britain as a result of a new agreement in the United Kingdom-EU, the government said.

The agreement includes a agrodoméstica agreement to eliminate “some routine controls” in animal and plant products that move between the United Kingdom and the EU.

This is likely to reduce the impact of the commercial border on the Irish sea, which was introduced as results of Brexit.

In a statement, the government said that getting rid of these UK-EE assets controls “could reduce food prices and increase the choice on supermarket shelves.”

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced the broad agreement after organizing EU leaders at a summit in London.

He said the agreement would be “good for work, good for invoices and good for our borders.”

However, the critics accused the Labor Government of betraying the Brexit voters, since the United Kingdom will have to follow the rules of the EU agri -food without having something to say about how these rules are made.

There are also groups on a 12 -year fishing agreement that grants EU access to the waters of the United Kingdom, which is included as part of the general agreement.

The leader of the Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, said that the United Kingdom was “becoming a Brussels rules policyholder once again.”

But the Labor Government said it was time to “restore” relations with the EU, which is the largest market in the United Kingdom.

Business Secretary Jonathon Reynolds said that the United Kingdom agricultural food exports “are decreasing by a fifth” and that the new agreement reduces friction and commercial costs.

Ireland of the North experienced a greater impact of the commercial rules after Brexit than any other part of the United Kingdom.

When the United Kingdom left the EU in January 2020, Northern Ireland remained within the Single Market of EU goods.

That means that when supermarkets are sending shipments from their distribution centers in Britain to Northern Ireland, it is as if they were crossing an international border, so they require a variety of paperwork and other controls.

Rescuing is never easy after such a blunt and bitter break.

The trick for Prime Minister Keir Starmer will be to restore relations with Brussels without a Brexit retreat.

But how will the trade unionists approach an agreement that aims to reduce the impact of the Irish marine border?

How do they achieve the balance between welcoming an agreement that begins to eradicate it and at the same time undermines the Brexit they defended?

Do they adopt a purist or pragmatic approach?
