Operators will then be required to purchase allowances to cover their emissions fully.<p> </p><p>The UK ETS Authority also announced that the overall number of allowances sold under the Emissions Trading Scheme will fall to be on a trajectory consistent with Net Zero.

Egg producers and consumers should rightly have pride in the quality of British eggs, with about 75% coming from free range, barn and organic production systems.</p><p> </p><p>We continue to work with the farming industry to maintain and enhance our high standards of animal welfare. The Animal Health and Welfare Pathway, part of our domestic agricultural policy, supports farmers to produce healthier, higher welfare animals.
