How does Scotland's trade with ruk compare to Scotland's trade with the EU? I genuinely don't know and am asking out of interest and not to make any partisan point. I guess because there's no intrastat figures the Scotland/rUK figures will need estimates. Going by the history of national accounting these could range from 1% to 99% of GDP. My guess would be that Scotland trades far more with rUK, mainly in services. That's just a hunch though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly and as part of EU we will have an oven ready trade deal with rUK and a common travel arrangement like Ireland. No borders, no tariffs and members of the EU..Perfect 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, pretty sure that's the case, though much of the services work would be able to continue unimpeded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. I suppose that's not certain but it would be in everyone's interests. Regulated sectors might be an issue though, mainly the big banks, depending on what the EU-Uk relationship looks like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, some banking roles and other systemically important positions generally need to be inside the regulatory area, but I'd imagine that's a pretty small proportion of jobs. And perhaps more would need to come to Scotland than would leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant that it wasn't partisan about Scottish independence., about which i'm fairly ambivalent. I am very partisan about brexit and will continue to call brexiters thick gammons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Well it is Brexit related but it shouldn't be. Ireland should be allowed to fish there as it's international waters. However in 1955 I think, the UK stuck a flag in it and claimed it as British. This claim has absolutely no standing in international law as the rock is uninhabited and tiny. International law does not recognise it.Now the UK has left the EU it is being claimed that any fishing within 12 nautical miles from the rock is off limits to non UK vessels. I appreciate that there have been issues before but these were resolved in 2019 but are being enforced again due to Brexit.So I reiterate this recent escalation is Brexit related but is bullshit as it's clearly international watersThat's what I was getting at with per se. Of course it's Brexit related just in a somewhat roundabout road which you have perfectly explained. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
