Scotland’s salmon farming sector, in a effort to reduce costs, is urging the UK government to speed up the replacement of a bureaucratic post-Brexit paperwork system used for exporting goods to the EU.
Member companies have faced an extra £3 million (€358,000/$394,000) in export costs each year since the UK left the EU in 2020, according to Salmon Scotland's CEO Tavish Scott.
In a letter to UK Fisheries Minister Victoria Prentis, Scott called on the UK government to accelerate a shift to a digital Export Health Certificate (EHC) system.
