Good points
But UK fishing less than 1% GDP. Of UK caught fish 80% exported to EU, etc..
I sense the first figure will change significantly. The EU saw fisheries exports as a big win in the EU-Japan FTA. As the UK has already grandfathered that deal into UK trade, I'd see the EU % poss. dropping a little. UK may even do a fishing right deal with non-European nations
Don't disagree.
Trickiest area may be that UK will want equivalence rather than adhering to EU standards, which would need to be adjudicated by ECJ.
Or a agreed neutral body as per the Canada deal or Japan deal. I can't see ECJ adjudication being acceptable - it's probably a deal-breaker
There's a nuance. If UK agrees to follow EU standards on services then absolute dictum of EU is that ONLY ECJ can interpret EU law, in this case on standards. Hence Swiss FTA has ECJ for EU standard/legal disputes and independent body for the rest.
So UK wants equivalence, i.e. an analogous standard, which EU accepts as equivalent. Problem is that EU currently can rescind equivalence unilaterally with one month's notice. No surprise UK is seeking a lengthier bilateral notice arrangement.
So some progress until 30 June, but when transition not extended then it will get serious real quick.
Or poss. some initial EU shenanigans like we saw when Trump evened up tariffs on EU imports. Lots of huffing and puffing but once they realised he was serious the tune changed quickly.
EU wants a trade deal, because irrespective of big market they sell more to UK than other way around. German car makers call UK 'treasure island'.
But completely the other way on services, so that will be where rubber hits the road! -

@MajorRage I had no idea this was more brexit than britpol!
Hancock is good value.
It could be either, as without Brexit, they wouldn't have employed Abbott.
But I got in first. So you can suck it.
Hancock in this case, is good value in the same way a Lada is.

There's probably a response to that somewhere in the UI thread ... although that has thread has taken bit of a meander!
