The NFTPG includes representatives from central and local Government, enforcement authorities, the waste industry, and private landowners.

The government believes in improving transparency for the consumer where practical. Within the EU, the UK argued for the extension of Country of Origin Labelling on fresh meats to include pork, poultry, lamb and goat meat which has applied since April 2015. There has been a requirement for Country of Origin labelling on beef since 2000. The UK has also supported Country of Origin Labelling for lightly processed dairy products such as butter and cheese and for lightly processed meat products such as bacon where this does not place unnecessary costs on businesses. We have also supported comprehensive voluntarily schemes, complementing the mandatory rules, covering many processed meat and dairy products. However, leaving the EU gives us an opportunity to consider the scope for further changes to the law in this area.<\/p>

Leaving the EU presents a major opportunity for UK agriculture and we are working towards achieving the best possible deal for the agricultural industry across the UK. We want to secure a deep and comprehensive Free-Trade Agreement as an alternative to membership of the single market, which preserves our access to EU markets for red meat and all agricultural products.<\/p>
<\/p>
We are conducting rigorous analysis of various trade scenarios on UK food producers and consumers. This ongoing analysis is helping to develop a detailed understanding of how withdrawing from the EU will impact on the UK to best inform Government policy going forward.<\/p>"}
