You cannot export air. Increasing production is a planned exercise. Which takes many months. That's after building a sustainable overseas market.

Far easier to benefit the economy by reducing imports. Buy UK manufactured items made by UK owned companies. Quality over quantity.

What goods by what companies using what materials? We don't really make anything here anymore, nor do we produce many raw materials.

Nothing like a broad generalisation, we are one of the largest exporters of cars in the World.

Honda make cars here (not just assemble them), Trident subs, Airbus and many many more.

The pumps that operate the Air Conditioning in very high rise buildings are made in Worthing.........

If this is the underpinning knowledge that led you to vote remain you need to have your own private 'second referendum' in front of the mirror.

No disrespect but your posts are now adding up to an 'omnishambles'!

You missed the point entirely there.
But since you asked, for a country that doesn't "really make anything here any more" we sure as heck export a lot. The global #10 in fact so regardless of what raw materials we produce, that makes it a bit more than you seem to think.

Using British steel, copper, plastic and other components?

We export stuff; but most of it is built from imported stuff

Quite a lot comes from scrap, but the added value is the production not the extraction.

This is why Tanzania does not rank in the top 100 economies in the World.

Much as we would all miss you why not try moving there?

They are part of the African Union, you know a bit like the European Union............

Again missing the point entirely.

I like a good scone.
What I don't much fancy is trying to eat raw wheat, raw cane sugar and unpasteurized milk although I wouldn't mind the raw grapes that could become raisins.

We should get in that Eurozone thing. We could double exports overnight; no, probably more because we have to remember India is in the Commonwealth (and therefore loves the UK) and German exports are limited because they're in the EU.

Have you been smoking pot?

Logically then, if the EMA is unable to undertake the work which it is supposed to do because it lacks the expertise, it should engage outside contractors with suitable experience to do the work. The EMA might find a few candidates in the UK prepared to do it in return for a hefty fee.

But it's the EU and they don't really do logic, do they?

With freedom of movement continuing to the end of December 2020 they will be able to recruit British Experts to work for them.

Why on earth would they do that as we're constantly told that lots of our experts in many fields are from the EU and want to go back there to work, rather than stay here.
