WEB UK to delay start of health and safety checks on EU imports report
New post-Brexit border checks set to zero.
A new era has begun for the United Kingdom after it completed its formal separation from the European Union on 31 January. As part of this process, the UK has introduced a new set of border checks on goods imported from the EU.
However, according to a report by the Financial Times, the UK government is now planning to delay the start of these checks. The report says that the government is concerned that the checks will cause disruption to trade and lead to higher prices for consumers.
The UK government has not yet confirmed the delay, but a spokesperson said that it was "considering all options" to ensure that the border checks are implemented in a way that minimizes disruption.
The news of the potential delay has been welcomed by businesses, which have been calling for the government to scrap the checks altogether.
The British Chambers of Commerce said that the delay was a "positive step" and that it would "give businesses more time to prepare for the new checks."
The Federation of Small Businesses also welcomed the news, saying that it would "help to avoid unnecessary disruption to trade."
What has happened since 31 January.
The UK's formal separation from the EU on 31 January marked the start of a new era for the country. The UK is now outside the EU's single market and customs union, and has introduced a new set of border checks on goods imported from the EU.
The new checks have caused some disruption to trade, but the overall impact has been limited so far. The UK government has said that it will continue to monitor the situation and make adjustments as necessary.
