Originally posted by Lost It View PostThere isn't one. The EU is saying anything we export to them must meet their standards. It already does, in many cases it's far better. The problem comes if we tell the EU that the stuff they are trying to export to us has to meet our standards. Then the EU is in trouble. Because most of it doesn't.
And which EU products don't meet our superior standards?
Or is this another example of Brexit fairy-tale land?Hard Brexit now!

Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostAnd the UK will be in trouble, because it won't be able to source the goods it needs. While the EU would be troubled, I suspect the impact may be less on the EU than on the UK.
I suppose what it does do is allow us to go and source our own from elsewhere - and we can judge how tulip they are without having some tw@ in Brussels tell us that they may be tulip but we have to buy them because we are in the EU.Comment

Angela Merkel ‘will put the EU interests AHEAD of German carmakers’ in Brexit negotiations | Politics | News | Express.co.uk
You're making the cultural mistake of thinking German firms are like British firms, only looking at the short-term bottom line.
But they don't, they're (1) always looking long-term and (2) much more aligned with their government in strategic terms.
So in terms of (1) they're probably thinking a declining, small market of 60 million that relies on credit to buy their products isn't a great long term bet. and (2) they'll toe the official government lineHard Brexit now!
