Defra must not wait until SPS negotiations are concluded before developing a strategy to reduce demand for illegally imported animal products. We reiterate the recommendation made in our previous report on this topic that the Government, by June 2026, should begin work with the FSA, FSS and local authorities to develop a strategy to tackle the domestic demand for imported illegal meat. This strategy should include engagement with Eastern European and other at-risk communities in Great Britain to raise awareness of animal disease risks and the importance of control measures. (Recommendation, Paragraph 73)
