Taken 4 years and likely one or two more. Big deal seems to be EU access to food markets and a drop in tariffs on Japanese cars. But it's a reminder that there is no such thing as a single 'trade deal', it's a collection of regulations, laws and agreements bundled together. |
One has to remember that the EU is a ramshackle alliance of 28, soon to be 27, nation states all with their own requirements on a trade deal and special interest groups to appease. That makes it take time. The UK is one state, a lot less complex.
