Exactly, regulatory equivalence is something that has yet to raise its head in the brexit debate.

Many of the large pharmaceuticals are located in the UK because of the EMA, they may well be looking to Amsterdam now its been decided.

That scares me more.
How quickly the EU has given up the UK.
1 year and 4 months before it is decided that the two EU institutions move without reserve.
As an European, i does not understand, that the idea of an united Europe (include the UK and with all other 27 member states) is given up so quickly.
Brexit so fast?
Why?
It simply lacks the time for necessary talks.

Perhaps Germany and the EU will have a bigger problem than Brexit to worry about soon.

As good a thread as any Bill. This is the kind of important news that remainers like to ignore completely. I tried already.

This is funny.
In Germany they are prepared to vote again,  if no agreement can be reached.
A concept that is not so common in the UK, I guess.

What's the problem? It will be either Merkel's party or the socialists who will head a new government. Both are very pro-EU, so I guess it wouldn't make much difference with regard to Brexit.

Oh dear,
you have no glue about theoretical, macroeconomic models.
You just do not know what a premise in an economic model is.
No problems with space and distance bridging is one from five premises.
And without realizing it, you certify the model from Minford, thus a rejection. Because exactly this example with Spain shows that his model is just a theoretical one.

Are you going to stick to that premise?

Estimate on the EMA relocation is likely to cost the UK 580 million Euros, but DD said it wouldn't happen. It is not just the loss of the agencies, the EMA is estimated at having over 35,000 visitors a year, all requiring food and accommodation.

 

The agencies’ previous location in the UK recognised Britain’s role as a financial and pharmaceutical industry superpower within the EU. In April, Brexit Secretary David Davis wrongly said the agencies would be able to stay in Britain after Brexit.

The bill Britain must pay for moving the European Medicines Agency (EMA) from London after Brexit has soared to a staggering £520m, it has emerged.

I'm sure the UK would let them stay.

It's the EU that says they can't so they should pay.

Contract to 2039 - who signed that?? . What a bunch of loonies!

Absolute not.
Real trade has many more facets.
Logistics costs are big items for every company in reality economics.
Same as import quotas, tariffs and import VAT.
Recent macroeconomic research is currently more inclined to explain and calculate mathematical environmental influences.

Its simple they cannot reach an agreement therefore they have to vote again. Otherwise no governing body.

What should they do. Draw lots or have a football shoot out?

I think it's good to let people vote again after four weeks, until all the arguments are known and are pronounced .

Why do not you explain that to the UK farmers?
Why do not you explain that to the UK industry and everyone who works there and earns their living?
 

A study of economics would refer you to the law of comparative advantage unless you wish to proceed down the road of protectionism.

I much prefer PR and the coalition governments it produces because it forces cooperation and compromise between opposing views. Much better than FPTP in my opinion.

The general concensus on the news today is that if mutti went for another election, she would likely do even worse.
