Roadblocks for breed sheep exports

摘要

The UK's exit from the EU on 1st January has created some (Largely unexpected) roadblocks for moving breeding stock from Great Britain to Northern Ireland and the EU.The immediate problem is the lack of physical infrastructure at ferry ports to handle live animals sent from a Third Country, which is what the UK is now it is no longer in the EU.The suggestion this will be in place for July is optimistic but, if it isachieved, there is a lot for breeders and transporters to get their heads around before then.
