Third teenager charged with second-degree murder | SaltWire #newsupdate #news #halifax #policeLONDON - Britain launched physical checks on fresh food products imported from the European Union on Tuesday some three years after it left the bloc's single market and eight years after it voted to leave the EU.

A second phase kicked off on Tuesday introducing physical checks at ports for so called"medium risk" animal products, plants and plant products, such as meat, fish, cheese, eggs, dairy products and certain cut flowers. New charges have also been introduced. "It is essential that we introduce these global, risk-based checks to improve the UK's biosecurity," Cabinet Office minister Lucy Neville-Rolfe said.

Britain had repeatedly delayed imposing checks on EU imports. By contrast, the EU immediately enforced its rules, leading to port delays in 2021 and prompting some British exporters, such as cheese-makers and high-end beef farmers, to give up on selling to the bloc, at least initially.
