Descrição

Van drives across the tarmac at the 'Sevington Inland Border Facility' on January 26, 2023 in Ashford, Kent. The multi-million pound Inland Border Facility in Sevington, Kent, was built on a 230-acre site at a cost of more than £100m, and has space for 1,700 heavy goods vehicles. Its purpose was to conduct import inspections on goods of plant and animal origin from the EU, a responsibility of the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs . Recently Defra confirmed that it had "no current operations" at Sevington. IBFs in Warrington and Ebbsfleet were also closed in November last year as UK government policy is said to be moving away from hard border checks and towards closer alignment with with EU rules for certain imports including those of plant and animal origin. Announcements from Defra are expected in the coming weeks. Get premium, high resolution news photos at getty
