Cable Forum - View Single Post - UK & EU Agree Post-Brexit Trade Deal

I think that the EEC may have been a good thing but the EU less so.

What I hope happens is that we negotiate with the EU for free trade that works both ways. We can export to EU things they want that comply with their rules and we import the same but our rules. We do buy stuff from the EU and they do buy stuff from us.

We should maintain or exceed safety rules the EU has, if companies import we don't have to buy, they would learn that we aren't daft.

Separate note - Turkey. If they do get any traction for membership I can see Cyprus wanting to leave. Talking with Cypriots, one reason for joining the EU is protection from Turkey, if the Turks get free movement they would likely just move in.
