That's right /r/LabourUK, from the 7th of Jan, no more of that filthy San Pellegrino, amongst other waters, will be allowed in the UK.
It appears Liz Trusses Pork and Cheese Markets speech from 2014 has resurfaced amongst the big water lobby.
Fucking Christ.

Letter:
>Sandra Gallina
Director General
Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety
European Commission

Belgium
Date: July 2 2021
Dear Ms Gallina,
After the end of the transition period, Directive 2009/54/EC no longer applies to the United
Kingdom, with the exception of the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland.
As you are aware, the UK Government legislated to roll over the recognition of all existing
recognised EU natural mineral waters after the end of the Transition Period for a period of
six months.
I am therefore serving you notice of cessation of accreditation of the established EU
recognised natural mineral waters which will cease in England from January 7 2022, in
accordance with The Natural Mineral Water, Spring Water and Bottled Water (England)
Regulations 2007, regulation 9A.
As a consequence, all natural mineral waters which obtained their recognition in or by an
EU member state will no longer be authorised for import into England as natural mineral
waters, unless they are recognised as such by a responsible authority of the United Kingdom
with the exception of Northern Ireland.
Those producers affected by these measures will be able to apply for recognition from today.
Further information can be found at our GOV.UK website1.
I would be grateful if you could communicate this information to all EUMS. I will also write
separately to inform the Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority and the Norwegian Food
Safety Authority.
Yours sincerely,
RT HON GEORGE EUSTICE MP

This is a question for those in support of "no-deal". A "clean break" Brexit is now Nigel Farage's favourite term to use. He has consistently failed to give any substance to an argument about what happens after. You hear a lot of people wanting to just "get it done" and "move onto other things".
Side question. It's March 2020, many months after this "clean break" Brexit. You open up social media, you switch on the news. Is it all still dominated by coverage of the relationship between the UK and EU or have things gone quieter like they were a few years ago? ie. Everyone has "moved on to other things".
Thank you.
