star this property answer text <p>We are expecting to introduce a new fees and charges structure for Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) permitting in 2020. This new structure seeks to standardise and simplify the existing charging criteria, and bring CITES Musical Instrument Certificates (MICs) in-line with other permit costs. This will be based on a cost recovery model and supported by a full public consultation and impact assessment. The consultation will consider the timing of implementation as well as the fee structure.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>Defra held an open public consultation in 2018 on a draft code of practice for pigs. The National Farmers’ Union and a range of key stakeholders engaged in the consultation process. Defra convened a sub-group which included the National Pig Association, the Pig Veterinary Society, AHDB Pork and the RSPCA to develop and refine the draft code further, and also engaged further with Compassion in Word Farming (CIWF). The Farm Animal Welfare Committee (FAWC) approved the final version of the draft code. The code applies to England only as animal welfare is a devolved matter.</p><p> </p><p>We continue to work very closely with the pig sector and will ensure owners and keepers of farmed pigs, are fully aware of the updated statutory code when it comes into force.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>EU safeguard measures restrict the commercial trade of pork and pork products from regions of the EU that are affected by African swine fever (ASF) so these cannot be traded with the UK. All countries outside of the EU who are currently approved to trade in pork and pork products with the UK are free of ASF.</p><p> </p><p>To prevent the entry of potentially infected products, Defra and the Devolved Administrations have also been delivering targeted communications. A specific communications campaign about ASF was launched this summer which includes a new poster campaign introduced in UK airports and ports, to raise awareness of the disease and the risks of bringing back potentially contaminated products. Defra are also working closely with Border Force officials to crack down on illegally imported meat entering the UK from high risk countries. UK Border officials detect illegally imported meat and enforce controls at the border by targeting and searching freight, passengers and luggage and will seize and destroy illegally imported meat products.</p><p> </p>
