The UK and EU are nearing a deal to ease food trade rules between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, cutting red tape and costs, with implementation set for mid-2027.
The UK government has launched a six-week call for information as it nears a deal with the EU to simplify agrifood trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, aiming to cut red tape, reduce costs by nearly £4 billion, and ease food price inflation.
The proposed Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) agreement, expected to take effect in mid-2027, would eliminate most regulatory checks, paperwork, and certificates for most food and agricultural goods moving from GB to Northern Ireland.
The move seeks to maintain Northern Ireland’s access to the EU single market while protecting the UK internal market and upholding the Good Friday Agreement.
Officials say the agreement will boost exports, strengthen supply chains, and support farmers and businesses.
Industry groups welcome the progress, urging swift implementation and urging firms to prepare by engaging with trade bodies and government alerts.
