Ireland imports 89 percent of its oil products and 93 percent of its gas from the U.K.,
The U.K is the fourth export market for Flanders with €27.66 billion annually.
The Hauts-de-France region in the north of that country (where President Emmanuel Macron was born) is home of the parts division of the car maker Toyota, which operates in the region. For example, 13 percent of Yaris exports in 2016 went to the U.K.
The French d!partement of Finistère, in Brittany, is bracing itself for a hit to its fishermen. “The end of the access to the British fishing areas to the Finistère fishing boats is a real economic risk, 50 percent of the fishing activity in Brittany region … is made inside the British Exclusive Economic Zone,” warned local official Nathalie Sarrabezolles.
Hauts-de-France is home to France’s main fishing port, Boulogne-Calais, which the report describes as the main European center for the treatment and processing of sea products. “Along the region’s coastline nearly 170 small-scale and deep-sea fishing businesses produce a turnover of close to €80 million with a fleet of around 190 vessels, providing nearly 900 on-board jobs,” writes Decoster.
Regions of the Netherlands are also potentially heavily impacted by losing access to U.K. waters. In the central Dutch province of Flevoland, the coastal town of Urk (which sports a fish on its coat of arms), is concerned that the fishing and fish processing industries will be badly hit (40 percent of its economic activity is based on fishing). The provinces of Flevoland and Overijssel predict a potential drop of 60 percent in fishing business.
For Prešov, the Slovak region in the east of the country, citizens returning home from the U.K. will present potential difficulties. “It can cause the increase of the unemployment rate in Prešov,” writes official Andrea Tur!!!269;anov!. In Portugal, M!rio S!rgio Quaresma Marques, the official in charge for Madeira, an archipelago off the Moroccan cost, warns that a large-scale return of citizens “would result in an immediate and significant increase in unemployment in the region (!), one that already has a high level of unemployment.”
The German city of Bremen stressed that the U.K is its third-largest trade partner while Berlin pointed out that the U.K. is its fifth-largest. For Cyprus, “Britain is the second trading partner … as a whole and the first one in terms of services, investment and shipping.” And while Polish regions made clear their biggest concern is a reduction of the EU budget, the province of Lublin, southeast of Warsaw, is also worried about reduced exports, “especially agricultural and agri-food products.”

Or maybe not since your post is not pro-Brexit?
So, what about the influence of Deutsche Bank's new 25-year lease or Sumimoto Mitsui bank's new 20-year lease or the rest of continued UK-bound banking/finance that has been posted before in this thread?
That sounds like far more influence than a handful of jobs which will centralise one player's existing EU presence , doesn't it?
More-so when no UK jobs will be affected they say.
It was not paywalled although copy and paste from the article does not work on my device.
To your further points.
I am not attempting to give weight to the news. Just illustrating Brexit by a thousand cuts.There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.0 -
Lots of angry posts from our brexiteers today.
Maybe linked to this?Brexit seems increasingly unimpressive even to its own supporters. David Davis’s message of reassurance to European business leaders gathered in Vienna – that Brexit will not change the kind of country Britain is – is the antithesis of everything the leave campaign promised.The Brexit secretary’s speech was reminiscent of the chancellor Philip Hammond’s remark in Davos that the government would seek only modest changes in its relationship with the EUIts tone was echoed in a separate speech on Tuesday by the environment secretary, Michael Gove, to the National Farmers’ Union, promising the maintenance of high standards and acknowledging the reliance on migrant workers in agriculture
Yes, it's an opinion piece, before anyone feels the need to point that out.0 -

That!!!8217;s very interesting. It must have taken quite a lot of research or is the above all available in one place? Not that that matters.
Perhaps you could distill each paragraph into one sentence and advise if it goes in the POSITIVE or NEGATIVE effect or both.
Thank you.
Edit
I now see where your information comes from. EU IMPACT REPORTS. That sounds as if you except that impact reports by experts are not complete rubbish.There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.0 -

Does "No deal is better than a bad deal" mean anything to you?
Going full WTO Brexit is a threat that's pretty common on the Brexit side, and it gets brought up every few pages. I believe it's also what Jacob Reese-Mogg is pushing for.
Except it's such a transparent bluff it's embarrassing that May and Davis keep bringing it up. There's no chance we'll actually do it and both negotiating teams know it.0 -
