Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

Based on current evidence, Defra does not consider it likely there will be a significant increase in imports into Great Britain following the EU’s recent ban of certain products of animal origin from Brazil. The UK Agricultural market Monitoring Group provides a forum for discussion of market impacts across the UK and will continue to monitor developments closely.
