POGS ''It will depend on whether or not the EU accepts the departure by the UK has now become an Independent Country and no longer a Member State. ''
not quite sure I understand this. Are you saying that the EU 27 will accept to deal on a oneway level playing field? How does that make sense at all?
We can't expect to be 'Independent' and allow lower standards, be they animal welfare or health standards, or workers rights, etc - which means we would be allowed to produce much cheaper than them- and also allow cheap poor quality imports from USA and other countries, at very low cost- which would then find its way into the EU via no border NI and Ireland?
Surely that is nonsense?
Wait and see will be a bit late, sorry Namsnanny.
