What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

UK and EU leaders negotiated a food pact in Brussels aimed at reducing food price inflation. The talks resulted in draft wording for a Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) agreement, which could simplify rules governing the movement of animal and plant products between Great Britain, the Crown Dependencies, and the EU. If confirmed, the deal could ease food trade rules and allow Great Britain to issue multi-use pet passports again.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The potential SPS deal is designed to reduce administrative costs for exporters of products like cheese and sausages from Great Britain to the EU. Most covered movements of animal and plant products could proceed without current certificates or controls once the agreement takes effect.

Andy Burnham is working to reset UK-EU relations, leveraging his connections in Brussels to refresh ties between the two sides.
