Reuters revealed how many Scottish fishermen have halted exports to European Union markets after post-Brexit bureaucracy shattered the system that used to put fresh langoustines and scallops in French shops just over a day after they were harvested.

In the first working week after Brexit, one-day deliveries were taking three or more days – if they got through at all.
