British farmers face paying for border checkpoints in EU after Brexit halts exports

Pedigree livestock breeders in Britain could be forced to spend millions of pounds to build facilities in France for red tape' checks by vets so their animals are allowed to enter the single market

British farmers are trying to set up red tape and border checks in France costing millions of pounds - and may even pay for it themselves.

Breeders in Britain are unable to export their pedigree cattle, sheep and pigs to the EU because no one has built any border control posts where vets can check the animals before they enter the single market.
