You may be right but don't you think the EU will need Britains help to complicate it.

That may be the medium term solution but in a few years time after Brexit the Irish will be very vulnable if they keep driving lorrys through a "third country" longer term they need a better solution.

Some might say that a better solution for Ireland would be to leave the EU. That really isn't so far fetched.

Ireland has more trade with the UK and USA than it does with the EU. The EU are interfering with the Irish tax system contrary to their own rules (they found an ingenius way of doing this). Sinn Fein which is now the fastest growing political party north and south of the border are anti-EU and once the Irish wake up to what the EU is about to cost them, sentiment may quickly change towards Irexit.

I wouldn't bet against this.

It looks like the EU may well force the complication all on their own.
This just-released statement fro Guy Verhofstadt & the European Parliament Steering Group makes it sound as though the EU will stick to demands of the ECJ having a "full" future role in UK affairs.
That has repeatedly been said to be unacceptable on the UK side.

I'm aware of the statement by this idiot. It has significance because the EU parliament will vote on the final Brexit deal - if there is one. Which there won't be if the EU continues to insist on having the right to meddle in the internal affairs of a sovereign state.

If someone really wants to discuss beef or GM foods perhaps a new thread may be more appropriate, say on foodstuffs.

Final word.

I will be really annoyed if the U.S.-U.K. trade negotiations stall because British food activists and protectionists and let us be honest REMOANERS refuse to recognize U.S. health and safety standards, one of the main benefits of Brexit—the lowering of British food prices—will be undermined.

It's not hard - put a large sticker with the American flag on every U.S. chicken sold in the United Kingdom and let the British consumers decide if they want to buy it.

British consumers should be allowed to chow down an American chicken breast and save a few pennies to boot if they want! Enough of the food fascism.

Trump praises work on British trade deal, says EU 'protectionist'

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday praised ongoing work on a post-Brexit trade deal with Britain while sharply criticizing the European Union's trade relationship with the United States.
"Working on major Trade Deal with the United Kingdom. Could be very big & exciting. JOBS! The E.U. is very protectionist with the U.S. STOP!" Trump wrote on Twitter without offering any other details.

That's very good news. Hopefully the EU will continue to demand the unacceptable and we'll go the WTO route.

Free at last and 100% certainty for businesses who can plan accordingly.

Saying it's down to remoaners has no more truth than saying Brexiteers don't care about food safety.

US food standards are either lower, equivalent or higher than ours. Standards are one of the most difficult thing to agree during trade negotiations and, for any product or service, will have to be addressed.

If we agree tariff free imports of US chicken which have lower production standards than UK produced chicken then it's a failure of negotiations - UK producers will be at a price disadvantage.

Yes the consumer should get to choose but they also need protecting from substandard products and, to a degree, themselves. It's not food fascism to have consumer protection laws.

We have higher animal husbandry standards that the EU. I never saw you complaining about the lower EU standards and how this undermines UK producers.


Where are your posts on European live animal transport standards that are well below ours?
