answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2020 answer text <p>US animal products are produced to a range of US animal welfare standards, partly because some US regulatory requirements apply at state level and others apply at federal level. Industry farm assurance schemes also exist in the United States and involve scheme members meeting scheme standards, which may exceed US regulatory requirements. The quality standards which apply to particular products imported from the US also reflect the commercial supply chain requirements of the importer, which may exceed the baseline regulatory standards applying in the US.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 11/02/2020 17:29:00 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2019 answer text <p>Consistent with World Trade Organisation rules, the EU must apply tariffs equally to imports from all countries where there is not a trade agreement or any other preferential arrangement in place. In the event of no deal, this includes the UK.</p><p> </p><p>We anticipate that the application of EU tariffs on UK exports would have a substantial negative impact across the UK farming sector, particularly for sheepmeat where those tariffs are high and around 30% of production is exported, approximately 95% of which goes to the EU. This is just one reason why delivering a negotiated settlement remains the Government’s top priority.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 22/07/2019 16:58:06 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
