What they actually said...

In a statement following the latest round of talks on Thursday, the EU’s chief negotiator Michel Barnier said there were “many uncertainties” about the UK’s animal hygiene regime.
He said “more clarity” was needed if Britain was to receive the “third-country listing” entitling it to export animal products to the EU.

Frost has interpreted this as a threat of a blockade, but the EU would be treating us no differently than any other "third country" - prove we are meeting EU standards.
