Fair enough Martin. But by voting in the likes of Farage, who only showed up for the first meeting to enrol for the pay, you couldn't influence decisions!
Decisions are made by those that show up! ( He missed 42 out of 43 fisheries committee)
You were never controlled that much by Bruxelles! The civil servants and those that pointed you in the right direction did that! Red Tractor anyone?!
I didn’t personally vote for Farage.

The Shellfish regulations were made onerous by the UK to protect your trade. Third country rules, you drew them up, then voted to adopt them! 😂
You've made your bed, it's not our fault that you're finding it a tad uncomfortable!

So how come Wykes farms can get product over without difficulty

British supermarkets with stores in Europe are facing supply problems as a result of post-Brexit rules on exports to the EU.

It is reported that fresh produce at 20 Marks and Spencer stores in France, Morrison’s in Gibralter, and a chain of UK supermarkets in Belgium were on the verge of closure with no deliveries since December.

The increase in paperwork required to bring products through customs, since leaving the EU, has left many overwhelmed.

In response to this, Somerset-based Wyke Farms was quick to take action and has supplied multiple shops with three pallets of its award-winning cheddar within two days.

The cheese maker has taken matters into its own hands and is now encouraging any retailers experiencing cheese shortages to contact them directly using a specially set up email account that is being monitored daily: [email protected]

He was on Farming Today that morning producing one lie after another. One being the same claim you mention, that the EU had changed its rules on bivalve Molluscs. Well, yes they did back in 08, under instance from the UK government to protect the UK shellfish industry from third country imports. :banghead:

Because they have started a new company in the EU with a HQ in Ireland and distribution sites in France and Germany.

Interesting that the boss of Wykes Farm, said that the Irish are the best at exporting food. He reckoned about 15 to 20 years ahead of British counterparts. Not just in EU, but also N America and Asia.
How in hell did Ireland manage all that whilst in the EU?
