To quote Michael gove on twitter this morning:

'Inside the EU we can't restrict live export of animals, ban products which breach our animal welfare standards or effectively tackle the exploitative trade in domestic pets raised in cruel conditions'

ban products which breach our animal welfare standards? doe this mean banning imports of meat from countries not up to our animal welfare standards.

could be a good thing for UK livestock.

Agriculture/Food won't get special treatment, trade will be trade.

If we want to keep importing German cars and Italian wine, we will have to be open to Danish bacon and Dutch yoghurt.

I'm expecting free movement of people (but called something else) to be all wrapped up within a trade agreement.

Nice and idealistic to ban imports with regard to welfare standards.

Us in the pig job have been hoping for that for years.

Sadly not legal under WTO rules.
