Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The terms of the Brexit Adjustment Reserve (BAR) are established by the European Union in Regulation (EU) 2021/1755. This includes that all expenditure funded by the BAR must be carried out within the defined reference period, which ends on 31 December 2023. The Regulation, as confirmed by the relevant authorities in the EU, does not provide for any flexibility in this timing.
