Re: Britain outside the EU
. . . and the reason they're cheaper at a supermarket is?
If you were a supplier of meat products (farmer) and could get £30 for a pig at a supermarket (£1 profit), or £35 for the same pig to a local butcher (£6 profit), who would you sell to? But the local only wants 10 pigs, so the other 1000 go to the supermarkets at the cheaper price . . . or get culled if the supermarket price drops to £28 per pig (£1 loss) |

There was never going to be a mass movement of items not approved by the EU from GB to the EU via NI. Even if there was, there is nothing illegal about that. Ireland depends heavily on goods coming from or through the UK. Link Quote:

Options 1 and 2 were no go due to either international or internal relations so option 3 was the only one. I am not sure why you think there's no risk of non-EU approved goods crossing the border in to the EU if there is essentially no border. Bringing goods in to a country where they are prohibited is certainly illegal, it's called smuggling |

Non-approved doesn't mean illegal. EU states can legally produce non-approved items, just as long as they don't market them etc within the EU. Small amounts of goods will always move across ANY border. There just wouldn't be the shipping of large quantities of non-approved goods from the UK into the EU via NI. Even then it would be an issue for the EU alone, just as it is for every other country on the planet. EG Chinese producers sometimes can and DO ship non-approved items into the EU and UK. Nothing new about that. Then again EU countries sometimes can and DO ship non-approved items to other EU countries and the UK. There simply was no justification for imposing restrictions on moving items between GB and NI. ---------- Post added at 17:19 ---------- Previous post was at 17:14 ---------- Quote:

The company I work for makes non-approved machinery for shipment to the US. Even the simple act of moving it from the factory to the shipper and onwards to the airport or port is riddled with difficulty. In the case here, the port of entry in to the Single Market is where the goods are offloaded in Northern Ireland, not at the Northern Ireland/Republic of Ireland border |

Just look at France and their fishermen for how that is going to go. IIRC Under WTO rules, if a territory has different customs rules, then it is formally a separate territory under WTO rules. As there are rules for between NI & GB, NI is a separate customs territory. Link Quote:

I read the other day that the EU are withholding payments to Poland until this is all sorted (to the EU's satisfaction obviously), and the Polish are calling it blackmail . . which in a sense isn't far from the truth. |
Re: Britain outside the EU
For how many years has Germany ruled that German Law has primacy over EU law, and suddenly it's a problem?
