Post-Brexit Vet Shortage Sparks Concerns Over Meat Imports to the UK

The UK government's first stage of a new post-Brexit border policy is set to launch on Wednesday, requiring EU-origin vets to certify meat and dairy imports, prompting concerns over a shortage of veterinarians in Europe that could delay consignments. Industry bodies estimate around 1.5 million tonnes of meat and poultry reach the UK from the EU each year, and the European Livestock and Meat Trades Union has entered talks with the UK government over the issue.
