Negotiating new trade deals and closing the rift.

Let's say the EU has the battery packs Joe Bloggs wants in their flying skateboards, they can easily get them because of the unfettered Single Market access through the UK. So, basically, Britain can become a conduit for foreign companies to get their stuff and pay nothing on tariffs.
This is a myth. The U.K. would need to buy the goods from the other third country and then resell them. That is perfectly legitimate trade.

They don’t simply become a conduit. That is just nonsense. And you also did not consider the scenario from the other direction. U.K. would be a conduit to all EU exporters to countries that don’t have a deal with the EU but do with the U.K.

A bit far fetched like just about most things Brexit.
 
The EU, a scared child.


While EU neighbors worry about the specter of a low-cost, casino-capitalism Britain undercutting continental labor, environmental, taxation or food-safety standards, the real risk may be more of a nimble high-tech rival on Europe’s doorstep attracting cutting-edge science while the EU clamps regulatory handcuffs on artificial intelligence, big data and biotechnology.

But there’s little if anything Brussels can do to stop the British leader from taking such a high-risk gamble. If successful, it might prompt emulators elsewhere on the Continent.

But none of that makes EU regulation applicable to Canada. The US is also part of the Hague System but they dont even have an FTA with the EU let alone are subservient to EU legislation.

The U.S. can do what the hell they want, they are the most powerful economy in the world. That being said, they can't get a comprehensive deal with the EU, much to their frustration. :D

That is not a requirement of any current EU FTA - it wasnt even a requirement in the proposed TTIP.

The EU are now simply erecting barriers that were not thought needed before - I wonder why that is..

Depends where those countries are. There is no off-the-shelf deal. Each one is considered on its own merits. Paris is 300 miles away from the border, not 7000 miles away. Big difference. But these so-called barriers are at the beginnings of the talks and quite normal.

Still waiting on a -1 beyond some people not getting in the Louvre for free. Anything yet?
 
Just another non news story from The Independant.
 
Relevance to trade deals? :confused:

None but as there is nothing going on about trade deals at the moment it's just a topic of maybe some interest. We see all kinds of stuff brought up from time to time not relevant to a topic/thread :)

No we are not.
We have left the EU.

We are still in Europe.

Technically speaking we don't leave the EU properly until we leave the transition period either with a deal or no deal (it's still a possibility). January was a bit premature to celebrate leaving the EU.

The U.K. is no longer part of the EU. There are no technicalities about that fact.

There is now a transition period until the end of 2020 while the UK and EU negotiate additional arrangements.
The current rules on trade, travel, and business for the UK and EU will continue to apply during the transition period.
New rules will take effect on 1 January 2021.

The 1st of January 2021 is when we properly leave the EU i.e. that's when significant changes to UK law can take place to diverge from EU rules and regulations. So you might see Bills pass this year that don't come into effect until 1/01/2021 or thereafter.

June is about the time when Boris Johnson can request an extension to the transition, if he doesn't then you'll know we are on course to leave completely by January 2021. There are always technicalities when dealing with the EU.

That doesn’t change the fact that the U.K. has left the EU. Transition period does not extend membership, it is simply an arrangement between the two parties.

There are those who still will not accept the fact we've left, technically or not. You're wasting your time trying to persuade them the truth of the matter :rolleyes:
