Can the EU do well without trade with the UK?

It would hurt, quite a lot. But then they could just adjust and forget about the UK and do very well selling and buying from each other, with Schengen, no borders, no paperwork, and with no tariffs- and a great variety of conditions and climates within to provide all they need. And labour too. What do you think?

And could of course control everything and everyone that comes in or out of UK.

At least in Europe they have a huge choice, buying and selling to each other. Same for so many goods, as the European climates are very varied- so again, can buy fruit and veg, etc, which need very specific climate conditions to grow. Same for wine, cheeses, etc, etc, etc. They will never be short of choice even if they just stick to each other. And no borders, thanks to Schengen, easy, peasy.

Sorry to bore you Maudi. Are you denying that the European countries have a vast variety of climates and growing conditions? And no borders?
