Yes. It does not have to take as long as it takes for the EU to set up a trade deal.
It took 7 years for Canada, and it's taken over a decade with the USA (and it's still not agreed!). For God's sake, it's not that hard!
The EU must get the agreement of all EU countries before they can agree anything. Do you not see the flaw in that arrangement?
The EU really must have a centralised government to make this work. The problem is that no-one trusts such an arrangement that takes away the power of democratically elected politicians and puts it into the hands of bureaucrats.
Really, would you?
