Red tape cutting?
This 20 ton of quality Welsh Mussels used to be sent on its way to Europe with one A4 health cert.
Now fourteen A4 sheets including 49 Stamps and initials for amendments by the vet, another 8 sheets of A4 packing list etc, 20 A4 labels on the bags.

99 Days since leaving the European we are still not able to export our live Menai Strait Farmed Mussels to our customers in Europe due to Bureaucracies and lack of understanding of the industry by UK Gov, meanwhile maintenance of the farm has to continue, 20,000ltr necessar cost

@mrjamesob
Since Brexit kicked in we have had to have Vet checks on all our Farmed Mussels exported from UK to Europe as well as having to use heat treated wooden pallets, all resulting in extra cost and less flexibility of when we can fish and send the goods off.
