Farming chief accuses EU of closing door to further post-Brexit negotiations
NFU Scotland president Martin Kennedy
The chief of Scotland’s farming union has accused the European Commission of closing the door to any further post-Brexit trade negotiations with the UK.
NFU Scotland (NFUS) president, Martin Kennedy, made the comments following a meeting with European farmers’ unions body Copa-Cogeca, where he spoke with European Commission officials.
“I was left in absolutely no doubt that the whole Brexit saga is far from over,” said Mr Kennedy, writing on the NFUS blog.
“It was blatantly obvious, given the response from the commission to questions, that Brexit was a UK decision and therefore the UK will have to face the consequences for any friction in trade or checks.”
