“Feedback received from the first event, which took place on November 23, has informed topics for this upcoming event and will include Marketing Standards, Labelling and Imports / Exports. The event will offer participants the opportunity to ask questions about the issues most relevant to their particular business so we would encourage all businesses that may be impacted by EU Exit to register and take part.”

Acknowledging the ongoing negotiations between the UK and EU, the DAERA spokesperson added: “We will continue our engagement with businesses in the coming weeks and host further webinars once agreements and decisions have been reached. This will help to keep businesses updated on the current position and information available to aid their preparations further.”
