A wide range of serious agricultural problems caused by the NI Protocol appear to be unresolved in the Windsor Framework - but industry leaders are confident that they will be ironed out during implementation.

Windsor leaves farm problems unresolved – but optimism on solutions

The Windsor Framework would dramatically reduce red tape for people travelling with pets - but still leaves major problems unresolved on livestock movements and long term access to veterinary medicines for NI, experts have warned.

Protocol problems remain on livestock and vet medicines

A leading veterinarian assocation has warned that a Northern Ireland Protocol block on bringing in 51% of animal medicines in from GB after 1 January could have serious implications for salmonella and eggs products in Northern Ireland. Esther Skelly-Smith says there are serious ramifications for public health and the wider agri-food economy.

A senior member of the UFU has given a small flavour of the “ludicrous” situation created by the post-Brexit rules.

UFU chief Victor Chestnutt said: “There is absolutely no room for fraud, where the current compensation measures are concerned. In the first instance, the vet puts a DNA tag in all reactor animals, which means that there is no point in switching the animal’s original ear tags.”
