I was in Brussels in my role as Vice Chair of the EU-UK Parliamentary Partnership Assembly (PPA), engaging in discussions ahead of important Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) negotiations.
As the Member of Parliament for a rural constituency, it is essential that these negotiations deliver clarity and protect the interests of our farming and food sectors.
Key considerations include maintaining our high animal welfare standards, supporting innovation in areas such as precision breeding and ensuring that UK-specific challenges, such as Scotland’s maritime climate, are properly reflected in any agreements.
