<p>Delivering a deal with the EU remains our top priority, but as with any responsible
Government, we are planning for all scenarios.</p><p> </p><p>To continue exporting
to the EU if the UK leaves without a deal, UK seafood exporters would need to provide
a catch certificate and an export health certificate for most fish and fish products.
We have published detailed guidance on the gov.uk website and have held several events
nationally to help the industry prepare to abide by these rules imposed by the EU.
These events have included demonstrations of the IT systems which exporters would
need to use, and the processes they would have to follow in the event of leaving the
EU without a deal.</p><p> </p><p>Fisheries management is a devolved matter. That will
not change as a result of leaving the EU. The UK Government has worked closely with
the Scottish Government, as well as the Welsh Government and DAERA, to ensure consistency
and help prepare the sector as a whole.</p>
