It seems as if @DefraGovUK @MPGeorgeEustice has been advised it would be OK...but now EU has advised not. They are trying to fix with Shellfish Association of Great Britain @SAGB /2

There may well be more EGs of these - EU taking a hard 'third country' line that will make the govt look impotent, rather than 'in control'....but that will only poison the well, not - as some might hope - create a change of heart. ENDS
