[QUOTE="Aspiring Peasants, post: 8629400, member: 198"] In the table the Netherlands and Italy are shown as not permitting tail docking and castration and you are saying that this means we will have to do the same to access markets with these rules. There is no evidence for this, according to AHDB the Netherlands and Italy are the 5th and 6th biggest importers of our lamb. This is a domestic UK issue and we should be standing together against it. From the AHDB web site:- [HEADING=1]Lamb[/HEADING] The UK is the world's fifth largest producer and the third largest exporter of sheep meat. With 300,000 tonnes of lamb and mutton produced annually, we export 88,000 tonnes of sheep meat, valued at £373.8m. With strong competition from the Southern Hemisphere and South America, the UK still has strong trade relations with France, which import 27,000 tonnes annually, worth £123.5m. [B]Top 10 importers:[/B] France, Germany, Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Hong Kong, Jordan, Austria, Ghana [/QUOTE]
