[QUOTE="Austin7, post: 7628671, member: 42100"] We are missing the point. If one cargo can come in fully certified then all cargos should also come in certified. Ministers repeatedly state. “we will maintain our high environmental protection, animal welfare and food safety standards in all trade negotiations”. This is no concession to farmers, it is an ever-tightening noose around our necks if there is no requirement for others to follow. The Government rejected the Lords Amendment seeking fair farming trade. The Minister, who should know better, stated at the dispatch box that it would require hedgerow management in Africa. Another Tory MP, (why are so many cognitively challenged), suggested that it would require UK civil servants to drive round the colonies in Union Jack adorned Morris Minors checking crops. In fact, all that would be required is that Australian imports were all certified under the ASP (Australian Sustainable Products) scheme.
