Ban the import of EU agricultural and fisheries products

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We, the undersigned, are appalled at the British Government’s inaction over the EU’s recent decision to apply unfair restrictions on the import of certain British agricultural and fisheries products, which is doing untold damage to British fishermen and agricultural producers.
As such, we call upon the Government to implement strict controls on EU agricultural and fisheries products that do not meet the highest of UK standards and, should that fail to have effect, we further call upon the Government to implement a complete ban on the import of EU agricultural and fisheries products as a consequence.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure whether you want to ban the import of all EU agricultural and fisheries products or only specific ones, or whether you want specific conditions or controls to be introduced.

You may like to sign this petition which calls for a related action: Remove the suspension on EU import checks asap to restore a level playing field.
