Brexit outrage as New Zealand farmers will have to go through LESS red tape to sell lamb

BRITISH farmers will have to go through more red tape to sell lamb to European markets than New Zealand ones, it has emerged.

...
As usual, though, the devil is in the detail and in the full text of the trade deal published on Saturday morning, it has emerged that New Zealand farmers will have to go through less red tape than Britain, as there is no "equivalence" agreement.

BBC Economics editor Faisal Islam wrote on Twitter: "The food industry, already smarting from events, says the lack of equivalence for Great Britain's agri-food / Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS) is problematic.

"As it stands they say 'New Zealand has a closer relationship on SPS with the EU than Britain from January 1' with an agreement that limits checks (1 percent) and simplifies paperwork."

Sharing his frustration, a Twitter user wrote: "British farmers now have more red tape to sell lamb to the EU than New Zealand farmers do.

"We’ve put up a border within the UK. We’ve made ourselves poorer and weaker.
