Rayvin 8367 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Devil's advocate - have the EU actually done what he says? I actually think they might have. It's only recently that this stuff about the UK being different to Canada because it's 'a competitor on their doorstep' has entered the conversation. Now yes, obviously, we saw this coming - they have to protect their own interests, etc etc. Fine, no problem with that - but they have undeniably changed their position even so. Which is giving right wing rags like the Telegraph ammunition. I wonder if, by the end of this, the gutter press will have turned the whole country against the EU.

ewerk 39291 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 They always had the caveat that the staircase diagram was for illustrative purposes only but they were always after a LPF commitment which is why it's in the PD. It's not conceivable that there will be a trade deal struck without LPF agreements. I think it's going to come down to whether the restrictions are dynamic or non-regressive and who adjudicates on any disputes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 8367 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Fair enough then. Obviously we can't let the ECJ handle any disputes (for many well thought out and robust reasons), so that's presumably no deal for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing to say that disputes have to be handled by the ECJ. A new trade dispute resolution body can be established. Who sits on the panel though will be an area of disagreement.

As ewerk says, I dont think a Canada no strings attached was ever offered. For obvious reasons, see the graph below. 9f course even with a LPF there will still be friction so this type of FTA is no good for us. Also, I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Hannan was an advocate of staying in the EEA. He's gone from that to no deal? Who's changing the goal posts in reality here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 27805 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 The government is refusing to guarantee remaining in the ECHR, whose signatories include literally every other country in Europe including Russia and Turkey. This is extremely worrying on the direction we are heading, one without fundamentalhuman rights seemingly. It will make any trade deals with the EU nigh on impossible and will further undermine the GFA. It should be headline news but instead will hardly make copy I bet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likes of the ERG have completely won if that’s the position. 50 or so swivel eyed loons. It’s scarcely believable how far backwards we’re going.
