Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to present the sources of import sanctions imposed in the past on animal products from Great Britain as well as their multidimensional (economic, political, social, health, ecological, regulatory) effects for this country. A chronology of events related to the outbreaks of BSE and FMD was compiled, and broad spectrum of their consequences was discussed. The review of the literature, the analysis of official documents and Eurostat data shows that internal and foreign ban on trade in UK animals and animal products due to contagious animal diseases has had very adverse effects not only on the agricultural sector, but also on the entire British economy and citizens’ quality of life. The extent of total losses caused by BSE and FMD was considerable; they could have reached GBP 5.5 billion and GBP 4 billion respectively.
