I wish they could at least get it factually correct. Fish don't belong to anyone, they are free to swim wherever the whim takes them. A cod might be in UK waters today then swim a few miles into French (for example) waters a few hours later. Does Mr Cod then suddenly become Monsieur Cod - no because it's a fucking fish ! All anyone is guarding would be UK waters, there is no such thing as UK fish. Fish are free to go where they choose but humans aren’t. Give humans fishes rights.

coprolite Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 2 hours ago, bendan said: We currently have zero tariffs on agricultural imports from the EU27. How can we simultaneously say that it would be enormously damaging to impose tariffs on this free trade, and yet at the same time say that zero tariffs are enormously damaging? I think zero tarrifs will be enormously damaging for some producers. Zero tarrifs on cane sugar will almost certainly finish sugar beet producers. For meat products it's a lot less clear. Obviously overseas competitors will become cheaper but fodder fed production should get cheaper if we can import feed at a lower cost. If nothing else comes of this fiasco it will be an excellent experiment for trade theorists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much about whether we should automatically co-opt future EU legislation into UK law.... There is no demand from the EU that we adopt future EU legislation, they're only pointing out that divergence could change the terms of trade, which is just stating the obvious and is nothing new. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can we simultaneously say that it would be enormously damaging to impose tariffs on this free trade, and yet at the same time say that zero tariffs are enormously damaging? Third country (non-EU) imports are however subject to pretty high tariffs. If there is no deal and we lower the tariffs to zero due to the amount of food we import, every country in the world will be able to benefit from this zero tariff. The agricultural sector in Britain would be essentially wiped out as a result. On the other hand, we import a lot of food from the EU which at the moment carries no tariff. Under a no deal these will become more expensive, which is certainly damaging to the wallets of the population. Then there's the effect on British exporters, whose products simultaneously become more expensive to source too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it before and will say it again. This guy went round doors and addressed public meetings and people decided to vote for him. What judgement has been exercised, who actually thought he was alright? It is looking out him and his pals what they are yet some people are blind to it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EU countries have to keep to much the same standards, and thus costs, as we do. Third countries don't, so the only thing stopping them flooding our market with cheap food that we can't compete with on price is tariffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we would have zero tariffs on agricultural imports with everybody. Any nation could dump their excess on our markets, putting our farmers out of business. Comical indeed.

Yes, I know, but why is it good when it's from a European country but bad when it's from somewhere else. Non-tariff barriers (like phyto-sanitary standards and regulations on hormones etc) would still apply. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
