, a clause protecting the “health and product sanitary quality in the food and agriculture sector” has been inserted into the EU’s negotiating mandate — which was officially published today — on the recommendation of France and supported by all other member states. The U.K. will publish its own mandate on Thursday as the two parties formally open talks for their post-Brexit relationship at the start of March.
