The lesson he needs teaching is that bullying is bad practice.

The EU's intention has always been to remove that rebate. Don't want to dig out the figures and previous posts again, but even with the rebate, the UK pays a higher %age of GNI(Gross Nation Income) than Germany.
If a product is sold in the EU, then it is subject to EU law, wherever it has come from. Similarly any product sold in the UK(outside of the EU) is subject to UK law, NOT EU LAW. If we internally decide to follow an EU rule, then that is OUR choice, and not because Germany or France insist on it for their own countries agenda.
Why would small countries like Vietnam, do a trade deal with the EU if it's so biased in the EU's favour? Isn't the whole ethos of the EU meant to be mutual cooperation?

Thank for not taking into account any of my points... 
As I said above

Negotiations are based on mutual benefits only if both sides have things that benefit the other without undermining the basic structure of the organisations.

Vietnam has things that the EU want, and vice versa - what they didn't do was try to get a better deal just because they were Vietnam...
