Decernis - UK Meat
Sector Granted Third Country Status
The continued export of meat, fish, and dairy from the UK into Europe has been confirmed, but many details are yet to be
addressed. In December, the UK secured ‘national listed status’, and it
was announced by DEFRA 3rd country status means live animals and
products of animal origin can continue to be exported to Europe. 3rd country status was confirmed after the UK met the health and biosecurity requirements
as set forth by the EU. There are still gaps to be addressed such as
the need for trichinella testing and other information for the Export
Health Certificates. Additional details are expected in Jan, and we are hoping there will no major issues so that the
UK is prepared for the export of meat, fish, and dairy products.
