It refers there to vets signing off exported meat and similar I think.
So we'd recognise EU qualifications in our Vets, allowing EU vets to work in this country, on behalf of the UK govt in signing off animals.
When you came to export that meat, the EU would be given a signoff by a UK registered vet (albeit one originally trained in the EU). They don't recognise UK registered vets, so that meat registration is unrecognised.
Something like that perhaps?

Yes I understand that, but the concept that there would be carnage at borders due to food coming into the country, seems to be overstated.
At the moment, food comes into the country fine because it's been produced in the EU and therefore conforms to EU regulations for food manufacturing.
If we leave the EU it doesn't stop us saying, "EU food can enter without checks".
That doesn't address the potential cost increase, but honestly, what is stopping us writing a law that comes into affect the day we BREXIT (if we do), that says anything that comes in from the EU conforms to our own standards?

I'm interested to know, in reference to issues brought up in this article, what's stopping us recognising EU regulations and statuses, even if they're not reciprocated?
What's stopping the UK recognising EU based professional qualifications, even if not reciprocated?
