What obligates us to impose 'reciprocal SPS checks'?
I did read that the timetable is:
Phase 1 – 1 July: high-risk animal-by products, all regulated plants and plant products, all meats and meat products, high-risk foods not of animal origin
Phase 2 – 1 September: dairy products
Phase 3 – 1 November: all other regulated products of animal origin including composite and fish products.
The biometric immigration checks are, of course, checks on people seeking to enter the EU.
