In which case they would trade under that deal; which would, of course, be better than trading without one.

 

Otherwise, what's the point of having trade deals at all?

Big miss there.

Brexit outrage as New Zealand farmers will have to go through LESS red tape to sell lamb

BRITISH farmers will have to go through more red tape to sell lamb to European markets than New Zealand ones, it has emerged.

The WA and now this agreement, whilst better than the suicidal no deal hard Brexiteers wanted, have both proven what Vote.Leave labelled as project fear was, in fact, project reality.

What has been proved? The transition period ends on 31st Dec, and then the UK begins a new life outside the EU. How can you possibly know what the future holds? 

Seems to me you've swallowed the project fear propaganda to such an extent that you think it is all factual.

The UK is extracted from the EU. Most of those things you mention relate to Europe, not the EU. There is a difference. 

For us a big number  European continentals find E.U. and Europe the same ...

Ça y est.. 

 

The UK wants to re-open negotiations, now on financial services 

Quote

The chancellor said he hoped a planned memorandum of understanding on the issue between the UK and EU in the next few months could smooth over many obstacles.

 

And British auditors can no longer audit European Union firms

 

Quote

However, the impact on many service-based businesses will be immediate. Sally Jones, who leads on Brexit issues for EY, said that as of 1 January, UK accountancy and auditing qualifications would no longer be recognised in the EU.

 

Quote

“If I want to practise in Italy or Germany or Spain, I’d have to re-qualify, which would involve sitting horrendous exams and, worse, three or more years of professional experience.” 

 

 

now for the €1,000,000,000 question : will our EU authorities be stupid enough to yield to the Brits? What do they have to offer?

Indeed; but at least you've admitted it this time.

The SNP will vote against the deal

 

Here’s why

 

Quote

Westminster leader, Ian Blackford, said: “Boris Johnson’s extreme Tory Brexit is an unforgivable act of economic vandalism and gross stupidity, which will cause lasting damage to the economy and leave the UK much worse off at the worst possible time – during a pandemic and economic recession.

 

Quote

“Scotland has been completely ignored by Westminster throughout the Brexit process and we are being forced to pay a devastating price. It is clear that the only way to protect Scotland’s interests, and regain the full benefits of EU membership, is to become an independent country.

 

Quote

“This is a very bad deal for Scotland, which will terminate our membership of the EU, rip us out of the world’s largest single market and customs union, end our freedom of movement rights, and impose mountains of red tape, added costs and barriers to trade for Scottish businesses. The blame lies squarely with the Tory government.”

Blackford's talking about this trade agreement.

 

But as you obviously have no argument to counter his points, you have to pick up on one very minor one. 

 

UK membership has been in a transitional period since 31/1/20, which means effectively we have still been a member.

The no-deal on Gibraltar continues 

 

Quote

The talks on Gibraltar, which for months have run parallel to the wider negotiations on Brexit, have proven a delicate task; focused on preserving free movement for the thousands who regularly cross the narrow border that divides Spain and Gibraltar while steering clear of the centuries-old sovereignty dispute between London and Madrid.

 

They are fine joining Schengen and I do not see how they could afford not to 

Quote

Prior to the pandemic, an average of 28,500 people crossed the border a day. Picardo has long advocated that this fluidity could be protected by Gibraltar joining the Schengen area – a move that would see Gibraltar establish

 

Now if it's Gibraltar against Spain backed by the EU this is very very unbalanced 

Quote

Despite ceding Gibraltar to Britain in 1713, Spain has long sought to reclaim the tiny territory

 

The article does not state what the Spanish demands are

What part of the last sentence did you find difficult.

Tell us when do you think Scotland's trading relationship with the EU changed?

Suggest you read the quote from the guardian again

“This is a very bad deal for Scotland, which will terminate our membership of the EU, rip us out of the world’s largest single market and customs union, end our freedom of movement rights, 

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/dec/27/snp-confirms-vote-against-extreme-tory-brexit-deal

 

No UK membership of the EU was terminated   at 11 p.m. GMT on 31 January 2020

What is the Brexit transition period?

The Brexit transition is the period agreed in the UK–EU Withdrawal Agreement in which the UK is no longer a member of the EU but remains a member of the single market and customs union. During that time, it will continue to be subject to EU rules. The transition period started immediately after the UK left the EU on 31 January 2020.

 

The EU said it will not negotiate details of new arrangements with the UK until it ceased to be an EU member. The transition period is designed to provide time for that new relationship to be agreed while ensuring that business will only need to adapt to non-EU rules once the future deal is agreed.
