    Doesn’t mean much without knowing if it’s increased domestic sales by reducing imports.

    The paper also found that since Brexit the EU and UK have diverged in a number of areas … the UK has tighter rules on animal welfare.

    So any deal would potentially mean lowering our animal welfare standards?

      Not necessarily; we could very well keep our high standards which would be fine for exporting to places with less stringent standards, whilst increasing the standards of imported meats if we were importing more from the EU again, as opposed to importing from Asia for meats used in ready meals, takeaways, etc.
