If the FTA agrees that we accept each other’s standards on certain goods then no. If we are getting Tomato’s from Spain that meet EU standards then why on earth would we need to inspect them. They will be no more dangerous than now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26441 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 We'll be a third country. The EU can't just accept our word that everything is okay, international trade doesn't work like that. What happens when we get our glorious trade deal with the USA and we're taking in GM wheat, chlorinated chicken and hormone injected beef? That won't meet the EU's standards.

Renton 17824 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) Mandatory inspections are enforced by the WTO. The disruption to trade at Dover will be huge and food will rot in the stack. I just wish people would do the minimal homework in this or at least listen to those in charge at Dover. Edited May 4, 2018 by Renton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s competition on here for the title of Pig Shit Thick Tory Wum now that our anxious little fuck from Coventry has shown up, and low grade efforts like the above just won’t cut the moutarde any more.
