British food exports to EU plunge
By EUobserver
Exports of salmon (down 98 percent), beef (92 percent), and cheese (81 percent) from the UK to the EU plunged in January compared to January 2019, due to post-Brexit red tape, Britain's Food and Drink Federation, an industry lobby group, said Monday. UK food and drink exports overall fell £750m (€873m), a 75.5-percent decline. Ireland, which used to take a fifth of UK exports, now took five percent.
