Why will the Irish suffer? Are the UK going to close off their markets?

The Irish currently send 50% of it's beef to the UK and there is a large flow of livestock and dairy just to and from NI. Now the EU say the CAP payment to Ireland may be cut by 5% (this cut may be more if there are no more contributions from the UK). 

 

If the UK eventually strike trade deals with non-EU countries then a lot of the beef may come from other parts of the world and the UK would have the ability to change tariffs and quotas in the future on agri-food products. 

 

All these things are likely to adversely affect Irish farmers and they know it. Their beef prices are already down and they are already after assurances of compensation from the EU.

Whereas British farmers will get zilch and face the destruction of their businesses by any free trade deal the UK begs cap-in-hand from the US.

So they take a 5% haircut on their revenues.....and??? Agricultural product prices go up and down by as much in a given season. Usually much more. 

 

Why is the UK going to have to strike a trade deal to import beef? It can do that already without a trade deal. Will be the same after a hard brexit.

 

And here is the biggie. Why after brexit do you want to impose tariffs and quotas? I mean, you are already going to lessen your export income as you'll be outside the EU tariff and regulatory wall, so you won't be able to sell as much to the EU as you presently do.

 

So why would you want to then make products to your own consumers more expensive (via tarrifs and quotas) when as a country you are going to be earning less. Talk about stoking inflation! It makes no sense...

If Parliament rejects Mays deal ( as seems likely ) then it looks like the only solution is another referendum or a  semi-permanent postponement of Brexit.

This is exactly what the EU and a majority in the HOC wants.

No! Get the U.K out, their industry will rush to continental EU, and a lot of their business will be out of competition as import duty wreck their prices seen EU production. The othwer way: gettign all in from far away: the seafreight will wreck these prices for a lot of items, so the U.K HAS to buy from EU.

Only way, as the British did in the past ( 1971) , when the Pound was worth Dfl 10,64 and now a just € 1,157 ( or x 2,20371 = Dfl 2,55; Yes 1/4) ???? bring your currency down to…  € 0,80 or so, to be able to compete again. Pity your costs of IMPORTS will rise the same…

 

So.. a HARD-as-possible Brexit is in the EU's interest, but a disaster for the British. But.. they voted in a landslide, never seen overwhelming mayority of 51,88 % for that.. ignoring 48,11 %

I did read what you wrote. You are just missing half the equation. Your export income will initially go down ( you didn’t write that but it’s just a logical outcome) and you talk about tariffs which will raise prices of what you do import.

But the border between Gibraltar and Spain is a hard border with barriers, passport checks etc and the Channel Islands don't need a hard border as they are islands and people can't just walk over an invisible border. There are no barriers between ROI and the UK - some houses are even in two countries.

This hard border between N - S Ireland will not affect Dublin, Cork etc, but for the people 20-25 km away from this border it will be a disaster. For S-Ireland, the break-ways of Wales with all its beef, pork will be a blessing, as imports into the EU of beef, port, sheep, poultry, fish (products) is quite difficult seen all veterinary and phytosanitaty regulations and inspections. With a hard-Brexit, FSA inspections are not of interest anymore.

By voting May out of office.

Just like no civil servant in the U.K. can be voted away by its U.K. citizens, the same is valid for the EU. However, the EU parliament is voted by all Europeans. The commissioners are appointed by the elected governments of the member states: one per member state. The council of (prime) ministers, elected again in their member states, are the superiour power in the EU. We have no House of Appointed Lords.

And we have elections this year ! How many % of Europeans citizens will "forget" to express their right ? then later complain ...

By the way, i am sorry for British people, but i think  the Brexit will be pretty hard on them but it have to happen.

Why looking to that littlebit of agricultural products… To give an idea: 50% of all car components used in the U.K. originate from the EU. THERE lies the problem: whatever parts and components… suddenly stuck in the ports seen customs clearance, import duty etc. And back again.. cars with 10% import duty into the EU... YOU believe Honda, turning the UK car production to Japan ONLY because of the diesel engine problem ? OR.. they do not want to tell the British consumer: we leave you.. but please buy our cars… as British made cars.. we cannot export anymore… And car export from Japan to the EU.. seen the new agreement, is free of import duty.  GET AWAKE !

Please read the definition of "hard border". Has NOTHING to do with a physical hard border, like a wall or even an ocean in between, but all with a custom border, especially if mutual governmental inspections and regulations are not accepted.

To give you some ideas: on each food pack, the weight/volume is mentioned with an "e", meaning: average, in accordance with EU inspections, for the UK the FSA. After a no-deal, this can not be accepted in the EU,... as from any non-EU country, so has to be filled at MINIMUM. So a 1 ltr bottle "e", which could fluctuate +/- 3 %, every bottle MUST have at least 1000 ml. Drink cans are made for 250 ml "e" or 330 ml "e", but never to be filled with 250/330 ml minimum. Means.. end of export to the EU or print: 240 ml / 320 ml = new printing. Wooden pallets MUST have a "bugs free document” if from outside the EU... the CE certificate for toys, sports articles, electric devices etc... must be proven for every shipment.

You think, the “Eton boys” ever thought about that ?

I think they even didn't realize the whole package of mutual approved E.U. laws they go keep ,who must be transferred to U.K. laws ….and I think they can not just rubber stamp them as U.K.laws , but must pas the U.K. legal  way  …..with maybe possible amendments from those so intrusive H.O.C politicians to give their government a hard time , a job for month's ...years ..?

There is a clear Commons majority against a no deal Brexit , ergo if May's plan is not agreed there will be a delay or a second referendum.

Even the likes of Boris and Rees-Mogg now realise as much , if they dont support May then Brexit wont happen.

I would say the EU have played a blinder , mind you they held all the aces , despite Farage & co pretending otherwise.
