question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to negotiate a sanitary and phytosanitary trade agreement with the EU.
tabling member printed	Baroness McIntosh of Pickering
uin	HL14652
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2021 answer text <p>The sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) chapter of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement puts in place a framework that allows the UK and the EU to take informed decisions to reduce their respective SPS controls, with a commitment to avoid unnecessary barriers. It is in both Parties’ interests to use this framework to reduce the rate of SPS checks required.</p><p> </p><p>We are open to discussion with the EU on an agreement that goes further in reducing trade frictions between us, but it cannot be on the basis of alignment with EU rules as this would compromise UK sovereignty over our own laws</p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 12/04/2021 10:51:38 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the number of export health certificates for animal products that will need to be issued from 1 January 2021; and what is their current capacity for issuing these certificates.
tabling member printed	Baroness McIntosh of Pickering
uin	HL9302
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2020 answer text <p>New requirements for export health certificates (EHCs) for goods moving from Great Britain to the EU from 1 January 2021 may increase demand for EHCs for products of animal origin (POAO) by up to five times, compared with the approximately 57,000 issued for third country trade in 2017. To meet this possible demand, we have increased the number of Official Vets (OVs) holding the relevant qualification to certify POAO exports from around 600 in February 2019 to more than 1200 today, with further funded training announced on 1 October 2020. In addition, around 1000 Food Competent Certifying Officers (FCCOs) working in 153 different local authorities across Great Britain can certify some exports and therefore contribute towards certification capacity. We have also introduced the role of Certification Support Officers (CSOs) to help reduce the burden on OVs and FCCOs. CSOs are able to carry out preliminary and administrative work to prepare consignments for export. On 1 October, we announced additional funded training to help increase the number of CSOs from 96 qualified and authorised by APHA.</p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 02/11/2020 17:48:26 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble
