uin	208741
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>On 28 November 2018, the government published a robust assessment of how exiting the EU may affect the UK economy in the long-run, detailing the effects on GDP, GDP per capita, exports and imports across four scenarios. This analysis is available on gov.uk.</p><p> </p><p>While the analysis does not seek to assess the effect of non-tariff barriers on consumer prices specifically, the lower GDP in the modelled no deal scenario compared to today's arrangements reflects the combined impact of trade frictions, including non-tariff barriers, on households' purchasing power as well as on firms' gross output and their productivity. The White Paper scenario would deliver significantly higher economic output compared to no deal.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 21/01/2019 16:22:55 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>Border Inspection Posts (BIPs) are commercial ventures set up by ports and airports which are inspected and approved for operation by the relevant Competent Authority and the Commission. Any BIPs at ports with regular ferry services to the UK would be approved by the Competent Authority of that EU Member State, not the Secretary of State.</p><p>As explained in the Technical Notice on <em>“Importing animals and animal products if there’s no Brexit deal”, </em>consignments originating in the EU will not initially be required to enter the UK through a BIP. For this reason we are not anticipating a significant increase in demand for BIPs at UK ports receiving ferries coming from the EU and have not received any applications for approvals of new BIPs.</p><p>A full list of current BIP facilities across the EU can be found here: <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/food/animals/vet-border-control/bip-contacts_en" target="_blank">https://ec.europa.eu/food/animals/vet-border-control/bip-contacts_en</a></p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 21/01/2019 16:26:39 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
