January 21, 2021 — U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson promised seafood businesses GBP 23 million (USD 31.5 million, EUR 26 million) in emergency aid this week in an effort to mitigate some of the strain caused by border delays resulting from the new customs and export certification requirements of the Brexit trade agreement.
The offering has received mixed reception, with questions being raised over whether its sufficient enough to support the industry through this difficult period.
