Agricultural Products: UK Trade with EU
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they anticipate that their proposed sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) agreement with the EU will remove the recently instituted French requirement for an 'enveloppe logistique obligatoire' with respect to SPS goods exported to the EU.
- Answer
-
As announced at the UK-EU Leaders Summit on May 19, 2025, the UK and EU have agreed to work towards a common Sanitary and Phytosanitary Zone. Once the agreement is in place, routine SPS checks for goods in scope will no longer be required.
Exporters to France will still need to meet French customs requirements including declarations and use of the Enveloppe Logistique Obligatoire system, as customs procedures are not included in scope of the agreement. The Government has been clear that there will be no return to the Customs Union.
