I know Andrew. Wilful negitivism is much more your style.

From the same article you also conveniently neglect to mention the other two services that are required for this to work. one being the surveillance system for automated customs checks, which does not exist and would be years away from implementation, this is a key system which would be required at the launch of any API integration.

Secondly you forget to mention the automated tax reimbursement system that to a lesser degree is also required, and guess what that doesn't exist either.

Would you like to post that article link, or shall i? Or, would you like to pipe down on a subject you have absolutely no knowledge of whatsoever ?
If I can remind you, what you said was that the technology was five years away, and that is what I was referring to.

It's not five years away in terms of technology - we could do it now. I agree that the two sides would have to agree on the specification, etc, and it will certainly take a couple of years, particularly when you take into account that the EU moves at a snail's pace.

We put forward these ideas well before any deal was agreed, and the EU's refusal to consider the technology solution is why it could not be implemented yet. But the solution is there if indeed a solution is wanted.

As for surveillance systems, there are other ways to accomplish all this with agreed methods of packaging, labelling and security. If the will is there, these problems can be resolved. Insulting me does not prove your argument. On the contrary, it shows that you are on shaky ground and wouldn't welcome a reply.

All par for the course in this place, I suppose. Shame.
