Dealing with post-Brexit paperwork 'pure hell', shipping head tells MPs

[Battlefiel]

I feel so bad for Toby Ovens and his crew . All this extra red tape is like wearing a heavy backpack that's just dragging them down . It's not just about the money, it's about the stress and uncertainty they're dealing with on a daily basis . I mean, who wants to risk having their goods stuck in Calais for months because of a little paperwork mistake? The good news is that there are people like the EU negotiators trying to make things right next week . Maybe we can learn from this and be more understanding when our favorite companies (and Toby's crew) need help navigating these choppy waters .

1 in 5 lorries are stuck at the port of Dover due to paperwork issues - that's 25% of the total number! The EU's vet inspection process has increased from just 1 stamp pre-Brexit to a whopping 26 now . Meanwhile, UK exporters have lost £8.4 BILLION in costs & trade decline ... all because of red tape . It's not just Broughton Transport either - other firms are dealing with similar issues too . Even the EU is trying to address this problem with talks in London next week , but until then, the industry is still feeling the pinch . Can't wait for some real change!

28 days in a motorway lane? That's just insane! I mean, I get it, paperwork and whatnot, but £16,000? Come on! Those EU inspectors must be raking it in while we're stuck with the bill. And don't even get me started on the delays and stress for farmers and exporters... it's a total nightmare. My friend's brother owns a farm in Kent and they've been having major issues with getting their products to market due to all this Brexit red tape. It's just not fair, you know?

This whole Brexit debacle is a textbook case of regulatory overreach and its devastating consequences for businesses like Broughton Transport . The sheer volume of stamps required by EU inspectors (26?!?) is a perfect example of the kind of bureaucratic red tape that's suffocating our industries . It's no wonder the shipping industry is at breaking point, with companies like Ovens' being forced to shell out £16,000 just to keep their goods chilled on time . And let's not forget the human cost – significant financial losses and delayed shipments are taking a toll on exporters and hauliers alike . Hopefully, the upcoming Brussels meeting will yield some positive changes, but until then, this is pure hell for our industries
