Border Controls
Statement made on 14 September 2021

The Government initially announced a timetable for the introduction of the final stages of those controls on 11 March. The Government’s own preparations, in terms of systems, infrastructure and resourcing, remain on track to meet that timetable.

However, the pandemic has had longer-lasting impacts on businesses, both in the UK and in the European Union, than many observers expected in March. There are also pressures on global supply chains, caused by a wide range of factors including the pandemic and the increased costs of global freight transport. These pressures are being especially felt in the agrifood sector.

In these circumstances, the Government has decided to delay further some elements of the new controls, especially those relating to Sanitary and Phytosanitary goods. Accordingly:

- The requirement for pre-notification of agri-food imports will be introduced on 1 January 2022 as opposed to 1 October 2021.
- The new requirements for Export Health Certificates, which were due to be introduced on 1 October 2021, will now be introduced on 1 July 2022.
- Phytosanitary Certificates and physical checks on SPS goods at Border Control Posts, due to be introduced on 1 January 2022, will now be introduced on 1 July 2022.
- The requirement for Safety and Security declarations on imports will be introduced as of 1 July 2022 as opposed to 1 January 2022.

The timetable for the removal of the current easements in relation to full customs controls and the introduction of customs checks remains unchanged from the planned 1 January 2022.

Good news for Taf - he's likely to get his food parcels from France as quickly as he does now, for a while yet.

Re: Britain outside the EU

It's also good news for our EU friends.

“It’s ironic,” said one EU diplomat. “They talked about taking back control, but they are letting products into Britain without any controls at all. That’s fine with us.”

“Worse, it actually helps the UK’s competitors. The asymmetric nature of border controls facing exports and imports distorts the market and places many UK producers at a competitive disadvantage with EU producers.” Food & Drink Federation's Chief Executive Ian Wright.

A decent pint or two of ale and a chunk of Stilton is more up my street. It's Taf who will get his French goodies without hold-ups for a little while longer.

Well, I'm not a rabid hater of Europe and its people. Just the following political hates:

1. The EC
2. Varadkar
3. Macron

The tennis was brilliant, though I was flicking between that and Sky Arts.

Btw, I'm off to Vienna in a couple of weeks. Backhaendl and Tafelspitz.
