Recommendation
Certification of Export Health Certificates have created additional costs to businesses, which fall disproportionately on SMEs. Defra should explore a version of the Movement Assistance Scheme that supports businesses with the cost of exporting seafood and meat and other food. Such a scheme could apply to the EU and other third countries, helping exporters to explore new markets and support Global Britain especially as the economy recovers from the covid-19 pandemic. The design of such a scheme should be time-limited and focused on SMEs.
