At the same time, they can become less secure, since the government of the country does not even think about the need to replace the all-European norms that have developed over decades. This conclusion was reached by scientists from several universities of the country.

As stated in the published on Monday, July 17, studies, the current EU legislation on agriculture and the fishing industry would require major changes, even if Britain decided to remain part of the bloc. However, Brexit means that Great Britain needs to create many rules practically from scratch, which threatens with significant problems.

At the same time, one of the authors of the study, Professor of the University City Tim Lang, specializing in food policy issues explained that negotiations on Brexit should be completed in 20 months, and such problems - an unprecedented political failure.

He also stressed that there are serious risks that product quality standards will decrease if the UK rejects the EU rules and instead enters into free trade agreements with countries where the standards are significantly weaker.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, on Monday in Brussels kicked off the first round of negotiations between the UK and the European Union Brexit. Today, in particular, this issue was discussed by the Minister for Brexit David Davis and the main EU negotiator Michel Barnier. The first round of talks will last four days, and a press conference is expected on its results.
