The fourth in a series of webinars will take place on Thursday, January 7 at 2pm and will focus on providing the most up-to-date information on what the EU/UK trade deal means for Sanitary & Phytosanitary (SPS) checks and other trading procedures. There will also be two more in-depth sessions on the NI Trader journey (1) for retail goods and (2) for non-retail goods. Agri-food business owners and traders must pre-register to attend at: http://www.daera-ni.gov.uk/eu-exit-webinar-events.

A DAERA spokesperson said: “Feedback received from the first three events in November and December has informed topics for this upcoming event. The event will give participants the chance to ask questions about the issues most relevant to their particular sector and we encourage all agri-food businesses and traders to register and take part.”
