Britain and the European Union have agreed a draft deal to remove many post-Brexit checks on food and farm trade, ahead of a UK-EU summit later this month. The 200-page text would scrap costly export health certificates and let sausages, burgers and shellfish return to EU shelves. In return, the UK would follow EU food standards. Ministers estimate eventual economic gains of £5.1bn a year.
