As a MEP for over twenty years he has the credentials to tell you who it would be. Sadly it seems the Dutch don't have the gonads and are quite happy to be the Germans whipping boy, as usual.

on your last point history repeating itself,did they ever get their bikes back?

ok, here we go with the blaming again... it's not us it's them, they kick us out !!!!!!!!

Where has anyone said "they kick us out" that's correct, nobody did, it's something else you have made up. The big fat cash cow is going, it has found greener pastures for grazing.

the EU is clearly restrictive and protects its farmers, fishermen and production companies against foreign competition, which operates with cheap wages, child labor, environmentally damaging, etc. The EU cannot compete with countries that pay their workers $ 5 a day.

 

The UK can then of course buy cheaper sugar, e.g. from Brazil or Indonesia, where rainforest is cleared and burned for cheap sugar. 

 

The EU sugar, which is mainly obtained from sugar beet, is of course a few pennies more expensive.

 

The main thing for you personally is the cheapest. You don't want to see the big wide frame.

 

Those who have children and grandchildren may see this a little more sustainably.

 

Hopefully the EU will continue to tax the "bloody" sugar in high levels.

cheap labour?don,t know about what brazil and Indonesia do,but britain do,es ok with their zero hour contracts and " self employed status" ( to get round the minimum wage )

I don't think that the EEC/EC/EU protection of their market had much to do with having the welfare of it's people in mind. The lobbying European corporations' profits and extra EU tax income were the main drivers.

 

Too much sugar is bad for Europeans anyway, as is over protectionism. But EU policies on using biofuels in the past have encouraged Brazilian sugar cane production for ethanol.

It is both.

The EU naturally protects its domestic markets and their workers and taxpayers. A good example was the import stop of Thai fish products because of the slave-like conditions on Thai fishing boats. Or shrimp farming with incredible amounts of pesticides. 

Yes, and due to the high tariffs on unfairly produced dumping products, a lot is subsidized with that money within the EU.

The EU is clearly also luring large companies with tax advantages if it can be proven that they create jobs within the EU.

The tax revenue from many employees (wages and sales tax) brings the state more than a high corporate tax. That is why many companies are moving in the past their production to low-wage countries like China.

 

And we don't want to talk about private tax evaders. The UK is on the front line with its Canal Islands.

The EU wants to drain these swamps.

 

And then came the much-celebrated Brexit. The super-rich UK tax avoiders are still grinning with joy and can hardly believe their luck that the UK voter has given them this license.

So we are agreed that the EU is protectionist. Why shouldn't the UK enjoy cheaper products from anywhere in the world?

 

The trouble is also that the protection does not often extend to UK jobs, but the EU is happy to lure large UK companies to create jobs in EU peasant economies.

 

As for tax evaders - I'm all for the super rich euro tax dodgers to invest in UK, just send the money! We will also lure all those IT industries currently taking advantage of low tax in Ireland.  That's how we will be more competitive and the EU knows it's coming.

1. I have already explained this to you using the sugar example. Or using the example of Thai fishing. There are 1000 more examples. Let's take the UK milk farmers. for example, if the UK gets its milk from the US cheaper, what happens to UK milk producers if there is no protectionism on the part of the UK. Should they all be retrained as stockbrokers?

 

2. This is indeed an EU problem, as there are very large wage differences in the north-south divide in the EU. But Brexit will not stop companies moving to low-wage countries. Instead of moving to Poland, they are moving to India.

 

3. and that's exactly the underhanded plan. provide tax evaders with shelter. Money laundering from drugs and arms shops. Half the Russian mafia have already taken up quarters in London's villas. Yes exactly. That is the Brexit plan. Enrich themselves with evaded taxpayers' money from EU citizens. Your contribution shows me the disgusting way of thinking

 

Nice that you say it so openly and honestly. On my private life, i don't do business with criminals.

Nor will the EU do it.

And also there, they only pay a handful of taxes. 

The EU will shortly be regulating this.
