UK and EU agree draft deal to scrap Brexit red tape over food exports

UK exports to the EU of fresh sausages, burgers, shellfish from domestic waters and seed potatoes will also be able to resume.

The agreement will also allow for passports for UK pets taken into the EU.

Under the agreement the UK will commit to observing and adapting to existing EU regulations on plant, animal and food trade standards. This process is called "dynamic alignment".

While UK rules remain mostly aligned with EU ones, there are some areas where England has diverged from the EU rule book, for example on "precision breeding" of plants, previously known as gene editing. In recent weeks, agreement has been struck on transition arrangements while the EU's new regulations come in to force.
