Marking of Retail Goods Regulations 2025Contribution
I hope the Minister will confirm that she will talk to her colleagues about preparing a meaningful negotiation for the TCA next year and that, through the Joint Committee, she will understand that the preposterous proposals we have here will utterly fail. If the European Union is trying to protect its internal market, what will it do—stop people at the border and take their baked beans from them? People are buying them. It is such nonsense. You cannot possibly believe that this will have any economic benefit to anybody except the people who make the labels. We have to be realistic about these things.
