The Government have no plans to bring forward proposals to regulate the importation of soy animal feed derived from cleared rainforest. The importation of soy for animal feed is one of a matrix of policy issues associated with the sustainability of the livestock sector, and the Government need to take a holistic view and base policy decisions on a science-based understanding of alternatives. To that end, the Government have commissioned research into replacements for soy due that is due to report in 2012.We would also be concerned that any move to regulate in this area would fall foul of international trade rules and could jeopardise the UK's and EU's negotiating stance in future World Trade Organization discussions.
