Remainers assured me EU business isn't bothered about the UK market, that they will easily find new untapped markets in Romania.

I've found a new potential JV within an Eastern EU country in the last 24 hours using my own contact book. There is a lot of untapped potential there.

My argument is that we are working from a better starting point when working with relatively wealthy countries, within the single market.

There is nothing stopping us at this time dealing with non-EU countries within the EU. As soon as I've typed this message I'll be speaking to a company in Russia and when I've done that I'll be speaking to a contact in Ukraine, which again looking at raw numbers will lead to an increase in supply for a small market.

To be able to produce goods within in the EU for EU sale, using the IP of non-EU companies is a huge advantage compared to licensing the same goods in each country and shipping them based on estimates that 99% of the time are wrong. 2 of the 3 situations above will likely involve physical goods at some stage.

Hampering free trade across the single market border will likely result in a decrease in products offered in the UK definitely in the situations above, and possibly with a number of companies selling at a specific price point while meeting a limited demand.

My target UK audience is around 91000 people within a broad range, so speaking more broadly the UK may either face price increases as a result of duties, or more likely be cut from the map completely as the maximum size of the market (which I admit I haven't utilised as well as I could have) is around £1.5m a year in gross sales, which leaves a margin of no more than around £60k for me to play with before my own marketing costs if everything goes to plan (as it rarely does).

If we're 'worried' about the EMA being short of staff when they leave the UK isnt that good news for the UK?

It means if /when the UKMA is set up there will be expert staff available and apparently there will be some office space going begging in Canary Wharf.

Wonder what the total bill will be to replicate the functions of the EU that will be 'onshored'?

Really really good news this morning. A big step forward for Liam Fox.

The UK and the EU have agreed a methodology for sharing the EU quotas with the UK when we leave in our new WTO trade schedule.

U.K. Trade Secretary Liam Fox discusses reaching an understanding with the EU on the methodology they will use to split WTO quotas after Brexit.

I know Medium Size Jock would flag this

Amazon has been ordered to repay €250m (£221m; $293m) in back taxes after the EU said it had been given an unfair tax advantage in Luxembourg.
The EU said the online giant had been allowed to pay "substantially less tax than other businesses as a result".
"This is illegal under EU state aid rules," the European Commission said.
Meanwhile, the Commission said it planned to take Ireland to court over its failure to collect €13bn of back taxes from Apple.

At the time the deal was struck, Jean-Claude Juncker, the European Commission's president, was the prime minister of Luxembourg.
