There is cause for optimism the Isle of Man's red meat derogation will be extended.
The agreement, which protects the Island from foreign imports, is due to end later this year, and Manx farmers are worried that cheaper meat could then be brought in from European competitors.
However, president of the Manx National Farmers Union Howard Quayle says he and outgoing Agriculture Minister Phil Gawne are hopeful the arrangement will continue:
Chief minister calls extraordinary meeting to discuss impact of Middle East conflict
Government responds to reports linking new Iranian leader to Island-registered company
Manx Care reviewing pathways and support for those with suspected Covid-19 vaccine injury
Hopes traffic will be improved around Douglas amid road closure
Manx motorists prepare for 'inevitable' fuel price rise
