The difference is that it will have to go to the ECJ to make a decision on the EU countries.

Whereas tariffs and embargos can start Monday AM for the UK.

No but the level playing field rules are broken for the sugar production that means that full tariffs can now be imposed on all sugar products form the UK including jam and biscuits

It's not a breach actually - just a cause for increasing tariffs on British exports, which might have nothing to do with what was breached.

"Pesticide believed to kill bees is authorised for use in England

Farmers ‘relieved’ as chemical sanctioned for emergency use, despite EU-wide ban backed by UK

A pesticide believed to kill bees has been authorised for use in England despite an EU-wide ban two years ago and an explicit government pledge to keep the restrictions.

Following lobbying from the National Farmers’ Union (NFU) and British Sugar, a product containing the neonicotinoid thiamethoxam was sanctioned for emergency use on sugar beet seeds this year because of the threat posed by a virus.

Conservationists have described the decision as regressive and called for safeguards to prevent the pollution of rivers with rainwater containing the chemical at a time when British insects are in serious decline."
