Agreed - but the sticking points were the length of the transition phase and the size of the minimum quota.

Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20
Excellent news that a deal might be forthcoming! It will be interesting to see what happened with the level playing field stuff. I am hearing rumours that it might not be significantly different but I guess we'll see.

Is that right, Andrew?
The quota/tariff free part of the deal is heavily weighted in the EU's favour because of the balance of trade between the two sides. Given the economic heft of trade (as distinct from fishing), I believe the Guvmin was playing this card silently throughout.

Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20
Didn't you hear the no pun instruction? Do you need a herring aid?
This is neither the time nor the plaice for these puns.
Any more will be on porpoise.
PS
The EU only agreed to a deal because the didn't want to make anemone of the UK.

Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20
It'll be a shame when the deal's signed and the dust settles - I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I've had a whale of a time reading all the arguements going round and round. I wonder where the final deal will be on the scale of good deals?

Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20
These puns are piscine me off (recycling my own puns now, a new low)
The thing with this tariff free trade on goods is that it's far better for them than us and what deals couldn't we do with the rest of the world that we are now able to do?

If we do net a deal then we'll have to broach the bubbly.
