So you just confirmed what I wrote, that the EU negotiated those deals, then why do you need to get so agitated? There’s nothing wrong with copying the great work of others, so chill. 
 

I would love to hear your analysis. 

Try Google, it can be very helpful ....

Well, in this case, UK should contact each member state separately in order to get their approval for a grace period. ????

 

We'd probably get a faster, more reasonable and properly thought out response, if that were the case, since I'm sure they would be more inclined towards trouble free trade than the EU's punishment tactics.

And just after signing, request for exception, renegotiation, extension.

 

 

We'll still probably be waiting that 2 years to 2023 for the EU to ratify it, considering the pace they do business....

Not really as most Brexiteers are not that bright as they still don't want to admit that their leaders have screwed up. Promises have not been kept and project fear is project realism. 

 

The most intelligent Brexiteers are those that turned remainder. Its never to late to change an opinion.

You still don't realise the UK has left the EU, there are no leavers or remainers that can do anything, so please update your Filofax....

ALL your post are written like that.

It would be a sign of respect to other posters if you would use proper punctuation.

That is undoubtedly true right now.  In time, however, it seems inevitable that a new generation of politicians will realise the folly of the Brexit years and we will re-join (the Euro too).  To remain isolated will be national suicide.

Again only your opinion, my opinion is that there won't be an EU to rejoin.

The year is only  2099 and all we want is another 5 or 6  year extension.

Still deluded... How many times do you need reminding, or does it never sink in?

 

Those deals are as much our deals since, lest you forgot, we were part of the EU when they were negotiated. Furthermore, the new deals are not a complete replica / cut and paste.

 

Got it now? Or do we need to keep repeating it for the next 100's of Brexit related posts.... ????

Nice to see you acknowledging that the EU trade deals have been designed taking into account UK's best interest! ????

 

Some deals may not be simply cut and paste (they are often shorter versions) but the content is not significantly different, and sometimes a bit worse (Japan deal). For the time being, freedom of negotiating agreements has not brought additional benefits. "Same same before"!

Really! So you've read them all and analysed them to boot - I'm impressed...

 

With your superior knowledge, I beg you avail us mere mortals of the terms of the 68 trade deals completed.

 

I won't hold my breath... ????

No, they were designed taking into account the EU's protectionist interests, big difference....

 

But you do at least acknowledge they were the UK's, and not only the EU's.

Yet another example of how well Brexit and Boris' wonderful 'oven ready' deals aren't going!

Yes, I seen an interview on BBC news with a guy representing NI businesses. He said that the businesses in NI desperately need the grace period extending so they can source alternative suppliers from within the EU, not something they want to do in a hurry.

The NI protocol is not going to go away, only the UK suppliers, something that has been fairly obvious from day one.

They are not called rollover deals and continuity deals for no reason! ???? Even the UK parliament calls them rollover and continuity deals.

You don't hold your breath and you are wrong! I have linked sources in previous posts, I.e. 

As a result of the above agreements, trade with a significant number of countries will largely continue on similar terms to those in effect prior to the UK’s exit from the European Union, while trade with countries where a trade agreement has not been reached will continue on WTO terms

https://www.burges-salmon.com/brexit/the-future-of-uk-trade-after-the-ukeu-trade-agreement/

So far, the new agreements are “continuity” or else called “roll-over” agreements, meaning that they seek to reproduce the effect of the agreements between the EU and the partner countries. As such, they are based on a “cut and paste” of the corresponding EU agreement with the term “European Union” being replaced by “United Kingdom” and a host of other consequential technical adjustments, such as, to maintain alignment of the timetables for the phasing in of tariff reductions and adjusting the governance arrangements.

Will you produce an analysis supporting your point, I.e. using reliable sources? I won't hold my breath! You'll come up with the usual reflections.

don't really find UK's request that far out,

UK and EU should have a fair measure of common interests in that corner of the foggy islands

Actually that's something I spontaneously posted some time ago, and It's fully coherent with my overall position. 

 

These trade deals, as well as other EU achievements and decisions, have been made thanks to the active contribution of UK among other member states, I.e. UK representatives and staff, and with the approval of UK governments.

So you're just parroting the articles which, by the way, emphasise my point, that the trade deals are not identical, as you highlighted - "substantially" and "broadly equivalent", would confirm.
