The Horticultural Trades Association (HTA), Union Fleurs, ENA, VGB, and Royal Anthos joined forces at the EU’s embassy in London for “Flowers and Plants of Europe” – a landmark event to discuss the shared ambition for a UK-EU reset. With negotiations ongoing and an EU-UK leaders’ summit expected in July, associations are working closely to ensure a deal that supports the future competitiveness of the entire supply chain.
Together, the associations reiterated their call for a robust SPS Agreement that secures frictionless trade while maintaining biosecurity standards. The sector demands involvement to ensure technical feasibility and urgent pragmatic measures, such as check rate reductions, to offer immediate relief and stabilize supply chains until the agreement comes into force.
