Each Free Trade Agreement is bespoke and tailored to the countries and markets involved in order to achieve our objectives of securing access to high quality, good value food for consumers whilst managing the impact on UK business. This potentially includes the use of equivalence approaches (such as Carcass Weight Equivalent (CWE)) or similar. Calculating quota volumes using CWE ensures a link to the real weight of produce by adjusting the volume for bone-in or boneless cuts of meat. However, there is no inherent advantage to administering volumes in carcass weight over product weight for example, with these factors needing to be considered alongside others such as quota volumes or product specific safeguard conditions. Final FTA outcomes will depend on the context of negotiations with each trading partner. The UK-Australia trade deal includes an alternative mechanism for sheep meat to give added protections to UK producers. Under this mechanism, sheep meat quota volumes will be reduced by 25% for a year if the quota volumes are filled for two consecutive years in years 1 to 10. Additionally, if the product specific safeguard volume trigger for sheep meat is hit in any of years 11 to 15, all subsequent trigger volumes are reduced by 25%.
