It's worth reading this document because it highlights a number of other pathogens that the UK is currently free of.

 

European trade interests objected to this and on 4th June the EU issued an instruction to the UK to alter it's legislation

The date to remove the amendments required to comply with the obligation was 20th June - so it's already passed.

 

Difficult to believe that in the worlds current situation Biosecurity, of any kind, would be reduced.
