<p>The Border Target Operating Model (BTOM) introduces proportionate controls that
will protect the agri-food sector and public health.</p><p> </p><p>The implementation
of controls on EU goods does not change the safety standards of imported food. It
has reduced the risk of plant and animal pests and diseases reaching GB and potentially
causing significant disruption to domestic production, as well as assuring the safety
of all imported food.</p><p> </p><p>The UK’s agri-food exports depend on our reputation
for high regulatory standards, and the BTOM will provide our export markets with assurance
that we are taking appropriate steps to protect our biosecurity, so that our exports
will not present an increased risk to our trade partners’ biosecurity.</p>
