Brussels may ban food imports

Brussels threatened Britain with financial, agricultural and trade sanctions if ministers refused to back down on their threat to give up parties to the withdrawal agreement. In a provocative move, Michel Barnier , the EU's chief negotiator, hinted that he could ban imports of British food and livestock when the transition period ended at the end of the year. An internal review by the European Commission , also suggests that Brussels could restrict access to the city of London and impose further 'sanctions' on British exporters in the event of failure to agree.
