I do agree.

 

One of both has been on my ignore list for quite a while already, since he does it in every thread he's involved on whatever sub forum, while the second one is on his way to the list

As you know, we already incorporate REACH legislation into our systems so I do not understand why we have to change it. ALl that is needed is for companies to keep up with EU policy changes if they are to continue trading.

Indeed

 

Launching a separate REACH system for the UK is just nonsense and it cannot be done whatever politicians in power today in the UK pretend. It just cannot be done. 

 

Maybe you watched the sequence when the enquiry of the Environment Sub-Committee discuss the consequences for Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland remains within the UE REACH system so one question was "should we move our chemical industry to northern ireland" ? 

 

 

 

If you ask me, I have no problem giving the brits access to the wealth of databases and standard produced by the UE Agencies, but I would definitely oppose giving them a "free ride", i.e. using it without paying the just price. I would also refuse to give the UK any power to block or jam our processes like they sometimes did in the past.

The Government hasn't slammed the door, merely left it ajar.

On the European agencies, AFAIK, the brits want more to set up their own systems (calling it like "freedom from slavery"), although they absolutely cannot do without some of them mostly European Aviation Safety Agency and Euratom Supply Agency

 

...the "left it ajar" thing is Gove backpedaling yesterday on the inevitable continuation of negociations, in line with the theatrical "Brexit deadlines" these last years

Most of the last three pages have been removed, a process that took considerable time and effort.

I could easily waste the next two hours dishing out warnings for the off topic, trolling and insult trading that has been going on.

Quit it NOW and stay on topic, without the personal comments.

And why not? It is the EU single market. An EU company/ state operating in the UK would be judged according to UK law.

Exactly. We're not a state in the EU anymore, or had that slipped your notice.

What is the just price for the UK to use REACH? The UK jointly invested in this and led the way on many other health and safety regulations, which the EU eventually decided they should adopt, modify and then claim as their own. Another example of EU grasping to promote its own false image.

You can set whatever rules you wish in a negotiated trade agreement, then it's up to the parties to agree or otherwise. HOWEVER, you cannot DEMAND control of our governance, EUCJ jurisdiction and continued free access to territorial waters from an independent (non EU) sovereign nation.

 

Common sense - or not?

Simpel answer is just to leave if not agree on it ....not that difficult i would say , if not like it, now it looks like U.K. is forcing a deal out of E.U. they can not agree on .....consequenses why a "divorce "is done !!

Understand your side , so also understand also our side

 

....conclusion as it stands now (and 4 years already )....no deal seems the only possible outcome !!!

Another obscure response, that doesn't address the question, i.e. that's not an answer, it's just pontificating.

 

Let me try and put it more simply.

 

1). How do you justify demanding control of rules, laws and territorial waters of an independent country?

 

2). Which other country has the EU imposed such conditions on in their trade agreements. 

No deal, no problem.

 

Britain’s pharmaceutical industry is appealing to Boris Johnson to strike a swift side-deal with Brussels to avoid delays and shortages of medicines if he crashes the UK out of the EU in a no-deal Brexit at the end of this year.

Why would there be any unanswered questions when people knew exactly what they were voting for? The UK would be out but still get the benefits of being in, all very easy.

 

More businesses will undoubtedly step up preparations for change over the coming weeks, but many are still facing unanswered Brexit questions that have a big impact on their day to day operations.

Good to see you finally found Project Fear at the back of the cupboard and dusted the cobwebs off for another round of fear mongering.

The first part is certainly true "the UK jointly invested in this"... and the rest is just the usual "evil empire" talk. 

 

I think it was a huge blunder to leave the EU, and sticking to your "evil empire", "project fear", "take back control" rhetoric does not help getting a clear vision of what the UK should do next.

 

Brexit in itself was a very very bad idea based on false premises. 

 

Now what is done is done: the UK is out and cannot go back in anytime soon.

 

 

 

Now, if at least this stupid Brexit idea had been implemented by the witty and clever british people I used to know, the country could have somehow controlled the damage.

 

 

Right now this is just a mess, and complaining and repeating the same slogans over and over is not in any way a solution. You know, we used to define (with much admiration) the brits as no-nosense, down-to-earth, efficient, pragmatic people.
