UK Government runs out of time to introduce a replacement to "CE" labelling. Maybe the Government just needs to believe more and the replacement will magically appear ?

The government has run out of time to introduce a new UK quality assurance scheme to replace the EU’s “CE” product labelling system at the end of the Brexit transition period, industry has warned.
With less than six months before the Brexit transition period expires, the government has still not published details of how its own planned mark — the UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA) — will operate, causing rising frustrations among manufacturers.
The CE marks are essential for legally placing products in EU markets, covering vast numbers of industrial products, from car brakes and airbags to industrial pressure valves and electromagnetic engine safety tests.
Honda, the Japanese car and marine engine maker, called on government ministers to “urgently update” its plans for the UK scheme or risk interrupting component supplies to its UK base in Swindon.
“Honda is calling on the government to urgently update its guidance on CE markings to ensure that we can continue to supply cars, motorcycles, marine engines and power equipment to customers in the UK beyond the end of the transition period,” the company said in a statement issued to the Financial Times.
“The remaining time in 2020 is simply too short to design, test and guarantee compliance with whatever the new UK requirements will be before the end of the year.”
In 2019 the previous government said that the CE mark would be recognised in the UK for a limited period in the event of a “no-deal” Brexit, but that advice was rescinded in January and has since not been updated.

No wonder the "frugal five" are baulking at this.
And you mock Pierre's view that we are "well out" of their mess? Dear oh dear.

How much has the UK spent? I suspect the Magic Money Forest has paid out more than €900 per person in the UK. Ironically, BoJo has got his wish to be compared to Churchill - he has indebted the country to levels last seen when Churchill was PM.
