So what other products can;t we buy because we lack a trade deal ?
None, zero, nada, not one.
So just products from the EU then.
Wrong, as always. Britain is free to buy those too without any trade deal..
So what's the point of a trade deal ?
You have been told on a number of occasions: trade deals
are NOT about stopping goods being sold, they're about
how much duty/tax the receiving country adds to the cost.
Yes I know, what I want to know is
WHY there is this added duty or cost.
Because that was the fashion/fad at the time,
and still is.
Nope, trade barriers like that have been dismantled
world wide for more than half a century now.
While teh EU installs them yes, that's why we should leave and trade with therest of teh world as and when we want to rather than have to ask the EU or rather whoever leads Germany.
The EU was one of the last to introduce new ones.
and you think that is a good thing.
largely the result of mindless protectionism
that was seen during the great depression that
we can still see the vestiges remaining today.
Yes protectionism is what teh EU is about
Yes, but even the EU is relaxing its tariff barriers now
and has free trade agreements will all of these now.

and it will do teh same with teh UK it can't afford not to.
I was a bit yuong in 1973 when we joined teh EU
I wasnt.
but you weren't in the UK were you, you were playing with your marsupial lions.
sure perhaps wine came down in price who knows.
No it didnt, that got more expensive too because the
cheapest wine came from commonwealth countrys.
the cheaest wine ame from spain but the EU instructed spain to get rid of more than 90% of the cheaper wines. Wine is much more expensive in the Spain than it was, but then you;d need to ask spaniosh friend rather than a polition taking back handers.
How can the EU decide what duty products
from outside the EU should set.
Same way any country does, it plucks a number out of the air and
proclaims that that is what will be paid with import from outside the EU.
who is this it, don't forget 27 counties need to agree.
Do yyo realy think the EU should have the power to decide
what anyone pays for a computer or mobile phone.
That's what tariffs and dutys are about.
So certain countires can bully others the EEC was set up to stop that sort of thing rememeber the idea was that no one country would rule over europe.
It can also decide that there will be none on trade within the EU
too, so none is charged on cars made within the EU etc etc etc.
We pay VAT and those outside the EU don't pay VAT.
