Irish food firms urged to seek EU regional status
The UK is urgently seeking to conclude what it calls "continuity trade agreements" with as many governments outside the EU as it can before the end of March deadline.
In February, Britain's international trade secretary Liam Fox concluded one of these continuity agreements with Switzerland. He has also agreed mutual recognition trade deals with Australia and New Zealand, as well as trade continuity agreements with Chile, the Faroe Islands and the eastern and southern Africa trading bloc.
