Some of the UK’s biggest ports are considering legal action against the government to recoup the costs of building border controls they often believe will go unused after confirming that post-Brexit checks should be delayed a second time.
The EU Economy Minister Jacob Rees-Moggsaid in a written statement on Wednesday that physical controls on food and fresh crops in the country had begun in July but have been pushed to the date of 2023. The president announced plans to digitize all measures and documents in the territory with a new strategy published in October.
The UK must rely on the European Union to monitor food and plantation safety because it will not implement controls. Food producers said they were at risk compared to European competitors who had less red tape to contend with.
The Association of Ports The UK’s BPA, a lobby group for the industry, said the expensive subsidized bids with about 200 meters of taxpayer could not use. If the government confirmed this to be the case, the group said it would seek permission to bulldoze the new buildings.
Richard Ballantyne, the chief executive of the BPA, said that the ports had arrived at the time to prepare the infrastructure in time: this announcement is a major change in policy, which will mean that the facilities will become white elephants, spending millions of dollars of public and private funds. Portes have started hiring employees to prepare for the new post-Brexit elections. The government has spent more than $1 billion to install border control facilities in places where there is no room for infrastructure near the quay.
Three years after the end of the transition, the EU introduced checks on goods arriving in the European Union before Brexit, but ministers are targeting the end of 2023 for a new border control regime. On July 1, the checks on meat and on September 1 began, with all products including chicken and even common foods. There is no date to control live animals.
Rees-Mogg admitted that the money had been spent on facilities that may not be needed during a Eurotunnel trip to Folkestone.
The Eurotunnel Finance Minister reported that some funds were spent in preparation for July 1, which will not be necessary, but the ports will benefit from the acceleration of the flow.
Rees-Mogg said the announcement could save British businesses some $1m in annual costs, while all the post-Brexit letters and checks that have been introduced now remain in place. The economist said that it would not be necessary to impose new checks now because the life crisis could cause a rise in food prices.
The operator of the Eurotunnel, through which a fifth of all trade between the UK and the EU passes, received this announcement.
John Keefe, director of public affairs at GetlinkHe said that more certificates had to be verified, more declarations and he could not have had the capacity to carry out trucks that do not have the necessary paper to leave with the goods.
The National Farmers Union warned that the change was unacceptable and another threat to British food manufacturers due to their high costs.
This is a question of fairness, said Minette Batters, president of the Ukrainian National Football Association (NFU), for its acronym in English. Producers of our products will face strict restrictions on exporting their own plants to Europe, while also enjoying an extended period of protection allowing consumers to access the UK priced market, which remains a priority. Without them, we are never left behind.
