My experience of trade negotiations are about zip... However, I'd be seeking to take advantage of being a single entity rather than merely being on the periphery of a supposedly co-operative... What's good for Germany/France isn't necessarily good for the UK...

Well I watched The Star Wars Phantom Menace film so I'm virtually an expert, and being a small single entity is possibly not as good as being part of a large negotiating bloc.

So over what period should the impact of leaving the EU be measured ?
One year, 3 years, 5 years, 10 years .....
The answer of course will be whatever suits the respective leave / remain perspective.

While not actually advocating it...perhaps that's an argument for being a member of the EU!
Oh. And (while also not advocating it, but conversely) in just under 7 weeks, there won't be any need to 'negotiate with the EU'!
There could be a considerable amount of 'brinkmanship' about to have an effect!

I think the term 'global player' has been something of an illusion in many of the areas for quite some time!
And (simply) being part of the EU, as opposed to being a separate entity, quite possibly weakens any 'global player' aspirations - certainly in terms of certain areas of trade.
<Philosophy mode> Personally, I'd sooner UK was a 'better' country than a 'global player'. Though it's all about defining what those terms really mean - and their implications! </Philosophy Mode>
Should you not be in the pub preparing for today's match rather than trudging back through this thread 😱� Blimey, 120 pages in 2 months.
The ferry contract has been cancelled because the local labour council has pulled funding for the port. Its always worth looking at the detail before jumping in.
The UK can have discussions but can't sign anything.

So it has nothing to do with the company's Irish backers then?
I thought all of this had been carefully vetted before contract was awarded....

Sorry Brian, but that's just not right. Arklow pulled their backing.

But Trump loves us and he wants a great trade deal with us, we just have to be in a position to do it. NZ and Australia to name a few have been successful with trade deals, why do you think a country with an economy the size of the UK cant also? Or, do not want it to?

Does he really?
I think he just wants to get his grubby mitts on our Valuable assets and he'll do whatever he can to do it.

Well, at least that acknowledges we still have some 'valuable assets' to negotiate with... Something Brussels appears reluctant to do....

You are entitled to that opinion although I don't know what you have to back it up, what exactly has he done to us. I would be much more concerned about what the EU wants to do to our Valuable assets with their grubby little mitts.

Nothing yet, but given his previous i’d tread very carefully before jumping into agreements with him.
I don’t know what the EU have got to do with my post 🙄
