Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 June 2025

Debate

Official Controls (Plant Health) and Phytosanitary Conditions (Amendment) Regulations 2025

Contribution

Secondly, if we are imposing these restrictions on all EU countries, that raises the issue of the reset. As I mentioned at the beginning, these regulations came into force back in January before the so-called reset had been negotiated. Now it has been negotiated, and we are told that it is going to remove the need for SPS controls, is it going to remove the need for these controls? If it is not, what good is it? If it is, why are we considering these controls? I am a simple-minded soul, and I hope the Minister will explain that dilemma.
