can't be bothered to read the link but the more you send somewhere else the better

No trouble at all. The Irish beef competing with your blues, is stuff produced to the same standards of traceability and all of that good stuff. Hence similar cost of production within reason.
Now the stuff coming from S America once Liam Fox and his underlings sign the papers will be another story. Cheap untraceable stuff reared on cheap cheap grass and no shortage of antibiotics and other undesirable sh1te. @farmerclare might well have to frogmarch you down to the local Aldi shop to get a part time job in the S American meat counter. Couldn't possibly have you under her feet all day wishing the Irish came back with their proper stuff so you could complete again :hungry:

Do read the detail. (y)

Under the trade agreement, EU beef and sheepmeat market access into Canada will be fully liberalised at zero in-quota rates.

When i read it, it didn't seem such a good deal for us

Beef: One of the most important elements for Canada in this negotiation has been beef, notably fresh beef. The total duty-free access the EU will grant to Canada for beef amounts to 45,838 tonnes (expressed in carcass weight equivalent - CWE), of which 30,838 tonnes are fresh beef. To this volume, should be added the bilateral consolidation of the existing 4,162 tonnes CWE of fresh beef that the EU had already granted to Canada in the past as compensation for the hormones dispute. All of the above corresponds to about 0.6% of the total EU consumption. There will also be an EU TRQ for 3,000 tonnes of bison, which will apply at entry into force of CETA. Finally, the existing WTO TRQ for Hilton beef (11,500 tonnes, expressed in product weight5 , shared between Canada and the US) will be maintained, but the in-quota duty will be brought to zero for Canada.

So thankfully, the eu can get flooded while we pick up more niche markets ;)

Meanwhile back at the ranch, the good old EU confirming more trade deals (y)
Another door opens for Irish beef as the UK door closes. Every little bit helps.
