   • 2025 August 26, “Post-Brexit licences for exporting food to EU cost UK firms up to £65m last year. Government to promise it will scrap existing scheme by reaching new deal with Brussels in next 18 months”, in The Guardian‎^[1]:

     Labour says its new agricultural deal will mean fewer checks on meat, fish, fruit and vegetables imported from the EU, and an end to the current export-licensing scheme. A report on Tuesday from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said these costs had been particularly burdensome for smaller business, warning: “These firms often lack the capacity and economies of scale to manage the administrative and compliance demands associated with NTMs (non-tariff measures). This has created a competitive disadvantage between smaller firms and larger operators with in-house capability – although all stakeholders report increased costs.”
