UK-India FTA: Trade and Agriculture Commission call for evidence
The Trade and Agriculture Commission (TAC) seeks submissions on the Free Trade Agreement between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and India.
The TAC seeks submissions on whether provisions in the UK-India FTA that relate to trade in agricultural products may affect the maintenance of UK regulatory standards in relation to (any of the following):
- animal or plant life or health

In particular, the TAC seeks submissions regarding differences between the relevant standards applicable to activities in India and the UK.
In accordance with the TAC’s terms of reference, submissions should not address human food safety, as this is covered by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS).
