We already run a massive trade deficit with the EU on food and agricultural products. This deal will make that deficit even bigger. I will also place UK food and agribusiness under EU rules, regulations and ECJ court judgements once more, processes in which this time we will have no say. And it will undermine UK technological advances in agriculture, in which we are becoming world leaders, because it returns such research to the dead of Brussels’ ‘prudential’ approach, which regards all innovation as a risk unless it can be proven otherwise. Hugely retrograde for UK, huge win for EU.
