Still waiting for a link to the whole article.
So we import a lot of stuff (like 80% of our imported food) from the EU. So tariffs on this food would presumably make it more expensive for us to buy in our shops. More from the same article: " If we unilaterally dropped tariffs to zero, in the expectation that the EU would have to follow suit, we would have to do the same for all trade agreements anywhere in th e world, something ...
It sounds like this ex-exployee of DExEU has agenda, care to post a link to the whole article so we can judge it for ourselves? Some of it is complete nonsense, such as the supermarkets warning of a 22% tariff on foods, trade negotiations are still in progress, are the supermarkets privy to these and know something we do not? I hardly think so. As for the wider picture, WTO tariffs work both ...
Here's some more from the article: "The Confederation of British Industry has estimated that 90% of EU goods exports, by value, would face tariffs. WTO (World Trade Organsation) terms would mean an average tariff of 4.3%, or a total increase in costs of exports to the EU of up to £6bn."

The Single Market didn't come into being until 1993, until then businesses had to make customs declarations, it was an accepted part of doing trade. I have lost count of the number of Certificates of Origin I've completed in my time, it's no big deal. We still do these customs procedures for the rest of the world, and they number far more than EU27. Listening to the doom-mongers you'd think we ...
Today I read an article written by someone who until recently worked in a very senior role in the Department for Exiting the EU. The author writes candidly (and, given his background, informatively) about the impact on the UK should we leave the EU with no deal. Here is an extract: "Thousands of new customs officers will have to be hired and trained, for instance, if goods which ...
I understand Tracey will be leaving this post wef this coming Friday. She has found another post in the locality that offers her greater security (the funding for the TCDM post was scheduled to cease wef September 2018). Thank you Tracey for all your hard work.
One of the few places that kids can go in Dawlish to do something they like doing. If the fence was ok and nothing illegal/criminal is going on then leave it as it is, why spend money replacing a perfectly good fence. In my own paranoid point of view, I would say that the council wants to stop the self expressionism (graffiti) going on the fence, but, in my opinion, in true council style they ...
See page 2 of Dawlish Gazette. The outside services team has recommended something more transparent and robust which would stop the skatepark becoming a den where people can hide away. Why have a fence at all Teignmouth and Brixham haven't not sure of any others.
