Official Controls (Plant Health) and Phytosanitary Conditions (Amendment) Regulations 2025Contribution
I am sure it does, but the biosecurity of the United Kingdom—all parts of the United Kingdom—should be a matter for the UK Government over the UK, not for the EU. That is something that has got to be addressed. These regulations tonight further differentiate Northern Ireland’s biosecurity framework from that of the rest of the United Kingdom. That is of very significant constitutional importance, as well as having major practical implications.
