City of London must face Brexit hit, Barnier tells finance chiefs 
Mr Barnier said that UK demands in the ongoing trade negotiations were designed to protect the City and were doomed to fail 

By James Crisp, 
Brussels Correspondent 
30 June 2020 • 5:41pm 

British trade negotiators will fail in their efforts to insulate the City of London from the worst 
consequences of Brexit, Michel Barnier warned a meeting of finance chiefs on Tuesday. 
The EU’s chief negotiator said that British demands in the ongoing trade talks in Brussels were unacceptable and that UK plans to ditch EU financial regulation risked another crisis that could hurt the bloc. 

UK proposals would make it easy to continue to run EU businesses from London after the end of the transition period on December 31, he said, and prevent the EU from freezing UK financial services out of the Single Market at short notice. 

"I will be blunt. Its proposals are unacceptable,” he said as negotiations continued in the Belgian capital, “The UK is trying to keep as many Single Market benefits as it can.”
London remains Europe’s pre-eminent financial hub but that status is coveted by Paris, Amsterdam and Frankfurt, which hope to profit from Brexit. 

M. Barnier blubbing more and more these days.

1. And when we have extricated ourselves from the transition period and are setting our own rule, we might even resume importing our favourite Jaffa oranges from our friends in Israel. You forgot those, and that its all about our choice and our control.

 

2. Under EU rules, State Aid is in principle not allowed, although they tend to allow it for their favoured states and not the UK. (Lufthansa, British Steel). Why do you think the UK future State Aid Plan is now such a sticking point in the negotiations? The new UK will be more competitive than the over regulated and supported EU, which has never been part of the EU plan. 

 

3. That's an odd idea, as we all drink the same water in UK. Brexiteers are smarter than the recalcitrant Remainers because we have had that 47 years of experience and learning. What were the downtrodden EU people doing during that period - just taking the propaganda?

1. LOL

Brexiteers economy.

If the ignorance wasn't so sad, you could laugh at it.

The prices in Israel for Israeli oranges are higher than the prices for Spanish oranges in Europe. 1 KG Oranges in Israel costs 6.4 shackles. That's the equivalent of 1.66 Euros. 

In Europe, simple Spanish oranges cost 0.66 - 1.00 euros a kilo.

Real quality juice oranges around 1.25 Euros a kilo.

Your orange example with the "cheaper" shopping in Israel was a grab in the toilet bowl and shows your lack of information in detail.

 

BTW. Import price of oranges in the European Union from 2000 to 2019 

In US Dollar/Kilo.

2019	0,56
2018	0,79
2017	0,81
2016	0,89

 

The Prices have been falling since 2016.

 

Due to time constraints, I will save comments on points. 2 + 3.

There have been some surprising price cuts in the EU since the UK referendum. Strange that, eh?

The fall in prices for oranges has nothing to do with Brexit. Get smart and read if you're interested. In one sentence: Overproduction and the market power of the large retail chains are the reason. You can read everything on the website of the Spanish fruit cooperatives.

Don't really understand the bit about Jaffa oranges from Israel.  I like them and when in the UK I eat one every day. They are around £1.60 for four from our local Tesco. 

 

There is no such thing as an 'Australia Deal' - presumably WTO?

My cousin has a meat exporting business based in Shropshire employing 16 staff. Exporting premium quality fresh lamb, beef and venison. Almost all to the EU. He's done the numbers and reckons a no deal would add 25% to his prices in the EU (tariffs etc). That would result in a big drop in sales - likely put him out of business. He says he would need a sharp devaluation in GBP to save his business - maybe that's the government's plan?

Read what? Smart posts have links.

 

As is the case for many other items, the UK will be free to set lower import duties than the EU for oranges, which could actually provide UK consumers with cheaper oranges from outside the EU.

You can drink that with peace of mind, if bought in the EU, the product has passed the European food inspections and controls.

 

Operation Opson V, which Europol and Interpol carried out in 57 countries around the world between November and February, removed more than 10,000 tonnes of counterfeit food. In addition, there were a million liters of adulterated drinks removed with like artificially sugar-coated, inadmissible, suspected cancer color and flavor enhancerss.

 

BTW how far has the UK made progress in setting up its own food control institutions?

Yes, possible, but as your comrade Loiner unknowingly posted, Israeli oranges are more expensive in the country of origin than in the EU. The Brexiteers should then switch to Moroccan oranges. I am curious if the shopping advantages, which are in the penny range, will be passed on by the large retail chains.

If the Israelis don't want to sell their oranges then that's up to them. Egyptian oranges (and tomatoes) are brilliant. Retail pricing is a different matter.

Sure, but there is a lot more work to do for the boys. Specialists don't grow on trees. and the whole thing costs the UK taxpayer something. The same goes for the missing 1000 vets. The UK must now organize and finance the costs that were previously shared by 28 countries in order to achieve synergy effects.

And again ignorance of the market. Egypt runs the risk that the water is turned off. Then there will be no huge "cheap" oranges and tomatoes in abundance. The construction of the Renaissance dam has led to violent disputes between Ethiopia and Egypt and Sudan. Fortunately, food security and longterm supply for the UK is not in the hands of some posters here.

Referendums are most hold when a population asks for them …… like example Scotland Gov. now , but in France the demonstrators are not happy with their own Gov. plans , nothing about E.U. …..hence Scotland's asking for one is anyway  neglected …. Even when circumstances are totally different as before ,   Brexit was not the case then , hence they liked to stay in U.K. before  ….. but now …..

Of course.

The EU doesn't prescribe which oranges you have to eat. On the contrary, the range of goods in the delicatessen supermarkets is huge, products from all over the world.

 

But the Brexit fairy tale, which you can just swap all your grocery suppliers, and it can buy the previous goods in other countries in the same quality, free of tariffs, i.e. cheaper, is just not right if you look at the individual products in detail.

 

But the real problem with the Brexit UK is not in purchasing, but in sales. Over 50% of UK exports go to the EU. How new markets are to be found quickly for that trade volume is beyond me. Especially against the background that the UK still has no trade agreements. The UK clearly overestimates its negotiating position.
