EU demands UK keep chlorinated chicken ban to get trade deal

Exclusive: clause in negotiating mandate for Michel Barnier will create hurdle to US-UK deal

 

 

The EU will demand that the UK maintains a ban on chlorinated chicken as the price for a trade agreement with Brussels, in a move that protects European meat exports and creates an obstacle to a deal with Donald Trump.

 

On the recommendation of France, a clause has been inserted into the EU’s negotiating mandate to insist that both sides maintain “health and product sanitary quality in the food and agriculture sector”, according to a copy leaked to the Guardian.

 

The paragraph, in a newly entitled section of the document for the EU’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, called “Environment and health” provides a catch-all insurance for the EU that certain methods of food production – particular pesticides, endocrine disrupters or chlorine washes for poultry – will not be used in the UK.

And you think these bluffs from the EU will work? If you do you're mistaken. 

 

I don't think we should overcook the goose here (Not an EU regulation incidentally).

 

It is simple, if we want to sell foodstuffs to the EU then we have to abide by their standards of food production, why should they buy them from us otherwise. We already have these standards in place, so what is the problem. If we want to import <deleted> from the US to eat, that is up to the UK, as long as we don't try to re-export it to the EU. 

 

If we believe we have higher standards on some items than the EU, then it is perfectly reasonable to negotiate an agreement regarding  EU adherence to them. That is exactly what we have been doing for decades, negotiating like adults. Sadly we have now reverted to posturing like children. 

 

Reluctant though I am to use another animal analogy, it appears that BJ is just being pig headed!

UK says it will consider walking away from Brexit talks in June

Negotiating mandate reveals Johnson seeks Canada-style deal and ‘regulatory freedom’

 

Boris Johnson is asking the EU for a Canada-style trade deal but will consider whether to walk away from talks in June and prepare for an “orderly” exit from the transition period.

Setting out its negotiating mandate for EU talks, Downing Street said it wanted “regulatory freedom” from the EU and would not accept any role for the European court of justice (ECJ) in dispute resolution mechanisms.

The government said it hoped to achieve “the broad outline” of an agreement by June with the aim of finalising a deal by September. But it said that if not enough progress has been made by June, then the government would “need to decide whether the UK’s attention should move away from negotiations and focus solely on continuing domestic preparations to exit the transition period in an orderly fashion”.

Just watched an amazing speech in the HoC. For those non Brits who don't know look it up but it would seem we have non brit fanatics on here.

 

Gove gave a blistering speech,. The EU members will be soiling their underwear wondering how much more taxes they will have to pay.

 

The unification brethren posters will be frothing with a bit in their mouth.

 

The message is clear. The UK will make its own rules own laws and own trade deals. They have been a member of this crappy club (I added that) and are expecting similar deals they (EU) do with the US, Canada, Japan and South Korea. Who are not members

 

If not then you can kiss the royal glute and we are .

You probably don't really understand democracy as your government just ignores referendums and the MPs like to do the EU's bidding.

 

With an 87 Majority, the Cons could never go back on what is being said. So if the EU don't compromise by June and Michael Gove put is so eloquently that the UK will prepare for a no deal.

 

In plain English for our EU friends that means, you can go whistle and Foxtrot Oscar.

Gove just playing to the gallery. The UK has known for a long while why they can't expect a deal with the EU like the Canadian, Japanese or Korean deals.

To quote Chris Morris from the BBC:

The UK is a major economy right on the EU doorstep - therefore a bigger potential competitor than a country like Canada.

 

The EU wants a common set of rules on things like workers' rights, the environmental regulations that businesses have to follow, and, in particular, state aid (or support, including subsidies) for business.

It says it will refuse to give British companies tariff-free access to its single market if those companies also have the ability to undercut their rivals based in the EU.

Straightforward common sense from the EU. if you want the benefits of the club, play by the club rules. If you don't, then it will be the WTO with all its paperwork and delays.

Johnson, Gove etc will have total responsibility for damaging UK financial interests for decades to come.

If unemployment is so low why did Patel say there are 8 million economically inactive people in the UK? Explain who these people are.

Wages are back where they were 12 years ago? Thats a damned disgrace never mind a cause for celebration. 12 years of austerity caused by the Conservatives. Suppose someone had to pay for the rich screwing up but it wasn't going to be the rich was it?

 

So someone is planning to build a film studio in London. As it stands they will currently be asking how much government grants are we going to get if we build it here rather than say Paris. Even if it does get built its just another benefit to London and the southeast. Does nothing for the rest of the UK.

Holidaymakers don't travel to the EU.  The EU is not a country or a place.

 

You have to recognise the difference. Generally people in the UK love European countries and their people, cultures etc., but loathe the institution of the EU.
