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. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Popular Post HauptmannUK Posted July 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2020 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? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Where are your links?

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.

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.

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 ….
