You’ve missed the point. Same product, both sides of Brexit day. Same manufacturers and same trading businesses.
You are just looking for problems that don’t really exist. Anybody would think you didn’t want to Leave the EU.

Correct. No jobs are expected to be lost. Regarding the x-trail, this model has been put on hold,due to market uncertainty, not exclusively to Brexit.

What you will see now,is that every time a company makes a negative decision based on market expectations, the remoaners will delight in trying to put the blame on Brexit. 

Not on hold and leaving the EU is a relevant factor.

 

"For those reasons the company has decided to optimise our investments and concentrate production in Kyushu, instead of adding another production site. For the European business, this does not change the fact that X-Trail is – and will continue to be – a crucial model for us.

“Today’s announcement will be interpreted by a lot of people as a decision related to Brexit. We have taken this decision for the business reasons I’ve explained, but clearly the uncertainty around the UK’s future relationship with the EU is not helping companies like ours to plan for the future.”

So not a real problem then, just EU protectionist measures. They could just say "Well we used BS to make many of our EN anyway. Unless UK suddenly starts changing their standards from 30th March, a new (or the old) BSI kitemark will suffice for a while." But they and you Remainers wouldn't would you?

Yes it is about protection, consumer protection, but consumers are not very high on the paranoids list of priorities.

As for BSI, I used to sit on a committee but you are free to think what you like.

I’m not the paranoid one here, I’m quite relaxed about interim standards markings.

This wouldn't be front page news if it wasn't for Brexit. The plant in Sunderland produces the Juke which is a successful car sold across Europe and as I understand it no jobs are being lost. Am I missing something ?

 

 

You may be missing something if you read the link from madmen.

 

Try this link from the BBC news website this morning.

By Rob Young, BBC business reporter

There's been a run of bad news from the car industry in recent months.

Job losses have been announced at Jaguar Land Rover and Ford and the cancellation of Nissan's X-Trail investment at its Sunderland plant is just the latest disappointment from a sector that was booming a few years ago.

There are many who want to say this is all down to Brexit. But it's not.

 

Declining car sales in China, the world's biggest car market, have unnerved the industry worldwide. As have falling car sales and an economic rough patch in Europe.

There are questions over whether diesel technology has a future after governments, who pushed it hard until a few years ago, and drivers, who previously liked its fuel efficiency, have become less keen on it.

In the UK, this is all set against the backdrop of Brexit uncertainty.

Its you who doesnt have the ability to understand what was written .

It was stated that Brexit wasnt the reason for the move , it was the low sales forecasts and the new emmission rules , although it was stated that the uncertainty over Brexit wasnt helpful .

  You read the report, completely ignored what was stated and then made up a quote to fit in with your misguided opinion .

Nissan can withstand the loss of the xtrail regardless of how much brexit was or wasnt  behind it,the big decisions are to come in the next 12-24 months,it already makes the electric leaf so you would think it would build the other models there that will eventually have to change,the other producers will also have to make their decisions in the near future,but i will be amazed if the industry employs the same amount of people it does at present in 3-6 years,brexit love it or hate it has shown the world the UK is not the best place to do bizzness,also iam still waiting for someone to show me a statistic or a report where a company has came here in the last 2.5 years and created 100s of jobs through the rewards of us leaving the EU,over to you vinny,vogie,aright and co

Nothing of the sort it confirms the real reason why Nissan have chosen not to build the new x-trail in the UK or the EU , Brexit may have play a part but the main reason is the EU diesel emissions and falling diesel sales

NISSAN bosses have confirmed the next-generation X-Trail SUV will be made in Japan instead of Sunderland but new European diesel emissions rules rather than Brexit lie behind the change of heart.

Chairman Gianluca de Ficchy said so much had changed since October 2016 when plans to build the X-Trail and Qashqai in the UK that the Japanese firm had been left with little choice but to switch production to its Kyushu plant. He said the Japanese factory was already geared up to make the X-Trail and that it now made sense to concentrate production there. Mr de Ficchy said: "At that time they were both planned as 'traditional' models, powered by internal combustion engines."

 

He continued: “X-Trail was already going to be made in Kyushu, but there was a good business case for bringing production to Europe as well.

"Since that time, as you know, the environment for the car industry in Europe has changed dramatically.

“To meet the changing emissions regulations we've had to invest much more in new powertrains for our future models like X-Trail.

“At the same time, the volume forecasts for X-Trail in Europe have reduced.

"For those reasons the company has decided to optimise our investments and concentrate production in Kyushu, instead of adding another production site.

You claimed the “Real reason why Nissan not producing new diesel model in the UK or EU” is because “DIESEL cars are set to be banned in three major European cities (...)” That’s complete nonsense, an outright lie — diesel cars are not set to be banned anywhere in Europe.

I Suggest you re-read my posts which clearly details which cities in Europe where certain types of diesel cars will not be permitted 

Suggest you also read past the headlines for example when you posted that Carmaker taciturn on reports about Sunderland plant, as fears grow over Brexit impact , completely ignoring major drop in diesel sales and new EU diesel emissions rules

So we are 2 months away from crashing out of the EU with no deal and no idea of what we want to do for the future. Nothing is ready for this eventuality .
