Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion

Quote:
The Government has developed a new Import of Products, Animals, Food and Feed System (IPAFFS) to replace the EU’s Trade Control and Export (TRACES) system. This digital service would monitor the control and import of animals, animal related products and high risk food and feed from the EU and rest-of-world countries. Further information on the new customs and regulatory requirements for agrifood products can be found in the industry chapter (see chapter 6 on industry).
Quote:
The UK Temporary Tariff (TTR) policy will not apply to goods crossing from Ireland into Northern Ireland, meaning there will be no new tariffs applied to anything which crosses the border – provided that the goods have not been diverted via Ireland in order to avoid UK customs duty that would otherwise have been payable.
Only EU goods could get away with it, so no real change to now. There isn't the France to Ireland capacity to bypass Dover etc in a big way.



Quote:
The UK and Spain have each taken steps to ensure that people travelling to each country can continue to access healthcare as they do now until at least 31 December 2020.
So that's a bilateral agreement with Spain, that works both ways.



Quote:
The Government has decided that direct imports to the UK of animals, animal products, high risk food and feed not of animal origin, and regulated plants that are in circulation in the EU single market will not be subject to sanitary or phytosanitary border checks and will not need to enter through a Border Inspection Post (for products of animal origin) or a designated point of entry (for high-risk food and feed not of animal origin). The UK will not require products of animal origin to be accompanied by a health certificate.
They've passed EU rules already. No different to currently, what would happen under a customs union or if we remained.

Quote:
• The UK has already signed bilateral agreements with Spain, Portugal and Luxembourg to guarantee local voting and candidacy rights for UK nationals in those states. Together, these three voting rights treaties protect the rights of a third of UK nationals living in EU Member States.
It seems deals can be done, as long as it doesn't involve the EU or Ireland.
