answer text <p>The UK is committed to working with China to improve market access and strengthen the trade relationship, including for trade of poultry meat. We recognise that there are clear potential benefits to carcass balance of poultry meat from trading with China. However, we are still unable to export live poultry, due to a ban which China imposed following outbreaks of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) that occurred in the UK in poultry from 2014-2017.</p><p> </p><p>We have achieved a number of positive steps towards lifting the ban, and once the ban is lifted, we can progress to resuming live exports of poultry which was an open export market prior to the implementation of the ban.</p><p> </p><p>Following re-opening of pre-existing trade, we can then undertake the longer process of opening a brand-new market for the poultry sector, namely poultry meat exports, which would add additionally opportunities for industry to benefit from carcass balance in the future.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK is seeking a deep and special economic partnership with the EU to ensure no tariffs, fees, charges or quantitative restrictions across all sectors, encompassing the best possible deal for the seafood sector, including for shellfish. The best way to ensure stability and continuity is through the Government’s Withdrawal Agreement.</p><p>We are working with countries across the world to explore the best ways to develop our trade relationships, including free trade agreements, to ensure that Britain becomes a global leader in free trade once we leave the EU. This will provide greater market access for UK products, including the UK fish and shellfish sectors.</p> more like this
