The Government continues to work with commercial interests under the Property Level Resilience Roundtable to promote the uptake of measures that make properties resilient to flooding. These are measures that prevent water entering a property and speeding recovery when it does. One objective is to develop better standards and certification, enabling insurers to take greater account of resilience measures in the future.<\/p>"}

Since 6 April 2016 all dogs in Great Britain have to be microchipped and registered on a database. We estimate that over 94% of dogs in Great Britain are microchipped. In addition, all dogs on the Index of Exempted Prohibited Dogs (dangerous dogs) are required to be microchipped before being returned to their keepers.<\/p>

The Plan for Public Procurement: Food and Catering Services<\/em> which was published in 2014 already provides UK food businesses with greater access to central government and wider public sector contracts.<\/p>The Plan aims to simplify the public procurement process and open up the market to more SMEs and local producers. It provides a level playing field on which UK producers can compete for the opportunity to supply more of the produce currently supplied from other countries. It includes tools such as the balanced scorecard, to help contracting parties to balance a range of criteria beneficial to the consumer, the environment, and to producers. These criteria include embedding UK production standards, encouraging seasonality of fresh produce and calling for menus which celebrate the provenance of the food. This approach is a UK-led initiative which is not affected by leaving the EU.<\/p>
The balanced scorecard approach is mandated for central government departments as existing contracts come up for renewal and it is also strongly encouraged for other public sector bodies. Defra is working closely with buyers and with the industry to ensure they are well prepared to maximise the opportunities.<\/p>
The UK\u2019s departure from the EU allows us to re-examine procurement rules to ensure they work in the best interests of UK businesses.<\/p>"}

Traditional Grimsby Smoked Fish has rightly been recognised as a Protected Food Name which celebrates the traditional method of production, local provenance and the skills of those involved. Countries outside the EU are already able to participate in the EU's Protected Food Name scheme when selling onto the EU market. In addition, the EU rules that currently govern the enforcement of Protected Food Names will be placed on a UK legal basis through the EU Withdrawal Bill. The UK will continue to abide by WTO rules on the protection of geographical indications globally.<\/p>
