A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
A sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) agreement between the UK and EU is scheduled to be agreed on 13 July, with regulatory alignment coming into force 12 months later in mid-2027. The deal aims to reduce paperwork and trade frictions, particularly for red meat exports, as the EU remains the UK's largest trading partner. However, sticking points remain around dynamic alignment with the EU, including industry concerns about potential loss of pesticides and gene-editing advances.
