Demand for cheap meat and culturally preferred products is fuelling the influx of illegal imports to Great Britain. (Conclusion, Paragraph 30)
Government Response
The government notes the conclusion regarding demand for cheap and culturally preferred products fueling illegal imports but believes demand-side factors are not fully understood. They refer to past and ongoing communications campaigns related to import restrictions.

9 Recommendation Acknowledged
3rd report - Biosecurity at the bo…
Design a strategy to reduce demand for illegally imported products and engage communities.
Defra should work with the Food Standards Agency and Food Standards Scotland to design a strategy to reduce demand for illegally imported products. Defra must further consider how to engage with Eastern European communities in Great Britain to raise awareness … Read more

Defra lacks comprehensive strategy and convincing plan to prevent animal diseases and tackle POAO smuggling.

Government Response
The Government shares the Committee’s concerns about illegal imports of meat and dairy products and the risks posed to animal health and food safety.

3rd report - Biosecurity at the bo…
No effective deterrent exists for meat smuggling, allowing smugglers to operate with impunity.
There is currently no effective deterrent to meat smuggling and smugglers are operating with impunity as a result. Defra’s proposal to crush vans carrying illegal imports is not a silver bullet for this issue and may be challenging to practically … Read more
Government Response
Defra encourages enforcement authorities to utilize the current suite of sanctions available for repeat offenders and egregious breaches, as far as it is practicable to do so. The government does not agree that a Defra-led plan for fining and prosecution of repeat offenders would be a suitable solution but intend to focus initial work on a new strategic approach to tackling the issue of illegal meat imports at the Short Straits.

4th Report - UK-EU trade: towards …
Defra fails to effectively implement Border Target Operating Model and meet inspection targets.
While assessments of the effectiveness of the Border Target Operating Model (BTOM) in safeguarding UK biosecurity vary, and regardless of whether full or partial implementation would be sufficient in principle, Defra and the relevant authorities have not fulfilled their responsibilities … Read more
Government Response
The government agrees that a robust, risk-based regime is essential for safeguarding biosecurity through the BTOM and shares context on how the implemented regime supports this. They balance transparency with commercial sensitivity and operational confidentiality and cannot commit to a specific approach to publication.

4th Report - UK-EU trade: towards …
Varying inspection rates at different ports enable gaming of the biosecurity system.
