During January-October, China is believed to have sold $184 million worth of EVs to Turkey, almost double the figure in the whole of 2022. Such imports are subject to a 50% customs duty, after Turkey added a 40% tariff on Chinese EV imports earlier this year. https://www.seaisi.org/details/23996?type=news-rooms It should be remembered global dominance doesn't always bode well for the end consumer thinking about early 70s when the Bunker Hunts tried to corner and control the price of Silver

Her is a quote from her in October 2023 “This is making it difficult for any of the main parties to use Brexit to their own electoral advantages.

Many countries have similar rules for visa over staying Schengen Area and every overstaying, even just for a day, is recorded. Secondly, intentional or unintentional, no overstaying is left unpunished. It could be fine, immediate deportation, or even getting banned from entering the Schengen Zone for a specific amount of time. https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/90-180-day-rule/consequences-of-overstaying/ Turkey Violation up to 3 Months: 3 month entry ban. 3 months – 6 month violation: 6 month entry ban. 6 months – 1 year violation: 1 year entry ban 1 year – 2 year violation: 2 – year entry ban.
