Edwin Poots: Australia FTA will damage NI meat trade
24 May 2021 |
Edwin Poots warned that Australia had a number of distinct advantages over the NI farming sector
DUP leader-designate Edwin Poots has written to UK government to express strong opposition to the prospect of a zero tariff, zero quota trade deal with Australia.

“The prospect of such a deal presents a high level of risk to Northern Ireland and UK farmers, he said as part of a letter to Defra Secretary George Eustice.
Growers warn AHDB Horticulture may charge another year s levy
17 March 2021 |

Campaigners who called for an end to AHDB Horticulture s compulsory levy have reacted angrily to suggestions that growers could still be charged a levy for another year.
There is industry speculation that the amount of parliamentary time required to amend the statutory instrument means that the legal basis for the levy may not be repealed before the end of the current financial year.
This is despite a majority vote to abolish AHDB Horticulture s levy and recent recognition of the vote s outcome by Defra Secretary George Eustice.
