    EU Office

    One I haven't seen before and has given me an idea for a 'Plan B'...Thousands of UK firms may need to set up an EU office - BBC News
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

    I'd image that most firms that need an EU footing would look toward Estonia. Minimal effort and not quite as restrictive as other EU states.

        Bloody referendums:

        The 2003 Estonian European Union membership referendum took place on 14 September 2003 to decide whether Estonia should join the European Union (EU). Just over two-thirds of voters voted Yes and Estonia joined the EU on 1 May 2004.

            E-residency is not the same as citizenship

              Apologies, yes, I know this, but was too quick on the draw.
