Being based in a non-EU country does not prevent a company exporting cars to EU countries. How do you think cars built in countries such as Japan, USA, South Korea, and Malaysia are sold in the EU?

The same way those manufactured in the EU are; by complying with all relevant EU standards.

Always remember our exit from EU is not just for us. We are creating a blueprint for others to follow. No compromise over our sovereignty/judiciary/legislative protocols. We are going to demonstrate over coming decades how much more efficient & accountable a sovereign state is!

The example of the UK's self-destruction has driven "leave the EU" fringe parties to new lows, while "leave the UK" groups are booming.

Of course. And, for example, the Nissan factory in Sunderland is already making cars that comply with all the relevant EU standards.

And has been explained many times before, as an EU member we can certify cars etc as being EU compliant. When we leave the transition period we become a 3rd country and can no longer certify so goods have to be inspected as there is no legitimate paperwork to certify them.

Not every item has to be inspected. The product has to be designed, built, and (sometimes depending on the product) samples have to be tested to ensure compliance. After that, only random samples are inspected. Surely you don't think there are a team of EU inspectors checking every single toaster, iPhone, TV, and clock imported to the EU from, say, China.

Unless there is a trade agreement reached, those goods will be subject to tariffs.

Japan has a trade agreement with the EU, it may be cheaper to make the cars and import them from Japan.
 
So according to the papers, Johnson signed this “unfair” deal.
He presented this deal as a a triumph he had managed to squeeze out of the EU.
He described this deal as “oven ready” and it was the entire basis of the “Get Brexit Done” election slogan.
Now he is going to 'fix' this unfair deal the EU forced on us?
 
If Boris Johnson ever finds out that it was Boris Johnson who struck the deal that Boris Johnson says is unfair then Boris Johnson will be in big trouble with Boris Johnson.
 
Downing Street has issued an instruction that ministers should have no specific policy on animal welfare in its trade negotiations with the US.
 
Warnings about Brexit drug stockpiles being used up:

The UK has been warned by the pharmaceutical industry that some stockpiles of medical supplies have been "used up entirely" by the virus.

A memo seen by the BBC advises the government to buy and store "critical" medicines to treat the virus.

Drug makers fear stockpiles cannot feasibly be built back up again in time, if the UK should fail to strike a post-Brexit trade deal with the EU.

Fear not, the government are on top of things :rolleyes:

The government said "robust contingency plans are in place".

The spokesperson added: "We want a relationship with the EU which is based on friendly cooperation between sovereign equals and centred on free trade."

Of course they are......

I am not reassured :mad:

It's the usual blundering around, having no plans, failing to consider the implication of actions and general shortsightedness which has blighted the Conservative government for the last 10 years and during Brexit and Coronavirus in particular.

I'm sure the "non-policy" will be extended to worker rights and food safety soon enough.

All he has to do, in his own words, is to, ping! stick it in the microwave oven and reheat.

Matt Hancock will be telling us later, 'We are ramping things up, straining every sinew and overturning every stone to do the right thing at the right time by following the science.

'Do you have a follow up question?'

'Actually -' <fx cuts off>

It's obtaining that CE compliance certificate that is the hard part.

Boris Johnson has already said he does not want to hold the UK to EU standards as he wants things to be open to other standards (for example the USA).

Nissan said three years ago that it might move out of the UK as it is not economically viable for them to go through exports aggro.
