Trade bodies say ongoing confusion about when checks will come in is ‘incredibly challenging’

Businesses have described Britain’s Brexit border plans as being in “complete disarray” after it emerged the introduction of some checks on EU imports will be delayed.

Post-Brexit border rules, due to come into force on 30 April, will require many meat, dairy and plant products from the EU to be physically checked at government border control posts (BCPs).

But trade bodies have said fresh confusion about when the checks would begin were “incredibly challenging” for business planning, while others said serious questions remained about the government’s readiness for the regime.

      Jup, but this stuff happens everywhere unfortunately. It is the perverse stimulus of capitalism. I have to admit that the wiki article does not even cover the full scale, as in that time we had a similar issue here in the Netherlands with a slaughterhouse that was mixing meats.

      In these cases it was caught and people where punished. It was also not a health risk but an economic crime.
