  Original motion(S6M-15253):
  That the Parliament&nbsp;recognises the ongoing harm caused by Brexit to Scotland&rsquo;s rural economy, such as barriers to trade, loss of EU funding and post-Brexit labour shortages; acknowledges that these barriers have severely impacted Scotland&rsquo;s world-class food and drink sector, which is of particular importance to Scotland's rural and island communities, and calls on the UK Government to consider changes to the current Brexit arrangements that would address these barriers and impacts, including through the pursuit of a comprehensive veterinary agreement with the EU.
