  • You are asking for ambiguity
    

    Eh

    Yeah bad wording on my part. Sorry I’m working on multiple things ATM.

    I ment you are seeing ambiguity that is not there.

    As I explained else where. The rest of the media and even fararge in another news article last night. Seems to disagree that this deal meets any Brexit claim.

    They see no abniguity in this meaning all UK food production domestic and export. Must continue meet EU equive standards to ensure less documentation is needed.

    It has after all been the crux of the UK EU trade issue from day one.


  • Yes I am. Based on a whole history of treaty talks since Brexit where the whole topic was based on trading standards and how alignment was why we could not join the customs union.

    Expecting a fucking news article to teach you the topics you seem to have missed. Is expecting ELI5

    And you you did suggest a meaning, when you openly interpreted the article as a good benefit of Brexit. And stated that it said nothing about domestic food standards.

    You were specifically claiming we had some form of double standard that applies to food we export and food we don’t.

    Nothing in the article claims that. And I can assure you we as a nation do not. So you invested that meaning to make your rather pathetic point about the deal matching some Brexit benefit.

    I made a very clear pretty close to ELI5 maybe 10. Of why I and the other poster was able to interpret the “aligned to EU standards” as relating to domestic sales. Based entirely on facts differing news have covered in detail while May and Bojo were negotiating.

    Your failure to understand such simple points. Is likely why you voted Brexit.







  • Sure. But that is not the EUs problem. It is an issue with the UK. And not one we needed to leave the EU to fix. But instead agree on a party willing to change it.

    The UK electorate has not been able to do that.

    Much like most other EU nations got to vote on expansion of the EU mandate.

    Our democratic leadership chose not to. So we again voted them in power so did get to vote.

    The whole Brexit argument was based on UK government failure being pushed as EU issues. It sure as hell was not the EU as an org that lacks democratic ideals.







  • Reread.

    Alignment of UK food standards. Means our own standards must continue to meet the EUs.

    This is the only reason the EU will ever accept removal of documentation confirming the standards followed in food it will eat.

    And exactly what remainers claimed about EU trade throughout the ref.

    It is also the exact reason the US trade deals keep failing. Their food standards do not meet ours. So importing US food into the UK would mean deals like this. Where our food standards must align are impossible.

    It really is not that complex. If your standards don’t meet those of the folks your selling to. Your companies are required to proove the items sold meet their standards not yours. Hence all the last 4 years of difficulties selling to the EU. Has been created by brexiters insisting we should not follow EU aligned standards. Creating the same mountains of paperwork any nation with differing standards face selling to the EU.

    The same reason the US wants us to accept chlorinated chicken. So they do not have to proove all their chicken is kept to the same standards we currently require.

    They can sell chicken to us now if they are willing to breed it as we do and provide evidence at each import that they did so. Just like we are with the EU now.

    But a trade deal giving them simple trade would require alignment between our rules.

    All those ISO EN and CE standards you see on electronics and toys. Are the same thing for non food standards. If China wants to sell crap to the UK they need that documention. Of course it’s up to the UK to enforce those standards. Hence why non aligned crap gets in. But food tends to be closer watched.
