UK tells EU it's all set for WTO rules as Australia deal gives huge boost.
BRUSSELS has been warned that significant progress towards a major trade deal with Australia is a sign that Britain can "thrive outside the EU".

"The Australia deal is forecast to boost U.K. exports to Australia by £900 billion and Australian exports to the U.K. by £4.4 billion.
Nothing wrong with a well negotiated trade deficit."
What does Oz make that will increase their exports 4billion ? |

"The Australia deal is all part of the plan to join the trans pacific trade partnership its just another cog in the wheel and thats why the EU are getting worried."
Where are you getting your information that the EU are “getting worried?”
Common sense would dictate that in a world of ever more green issues and a commitment by Boris to slash greenhouse gases, walking away from an entirely frictionless trade deal with our closest neighbours and agreeing a limited trade deal with countries literally on the other side of the world is odd - at best.
There is no cause whatsoever for the EU to be worried about anything - unless you are a rabid Brexiter who looks for any reason whatsoever to build a nonsensical theory out of nothing, as long as it is anti-EU. |

This was discussed on marr this morning and turns out the figures are based on current trade figures with Australia. Seems that only 1 in 5 companies export to Australia but with the trade deal that's hoped to change for the better as UK goods will be more competitive. Also it means the goods we have been buying from them are due to get cheaper |

Exactly. And the anticipated benefits were as noted in my post. |

I worked at sea back in the day and we used to transport bulk sugar out of Queensland and Uranium ore out of Darwin. |

I don’t expect or need them to care about the Empire, although it’s clear there is going to be increasing grovelling from them in future as our convoys smash through the French farmers blockades and keep Europe supplied with our products. |

We have already done 63 deals - so this will be 64 - then Japan will be 65 then Jordan will be 66 - then Canada will be 67 then Mexico will be 68 . . .
Oh! and we still have the EU too.
Does anyone see a pattern here?

. 3x 900b = 2.7T so I’m wrong by £100b 
It will equate to a quarter if it’s £900Billion so our total GBP will be above £3.6T. Impressive trade deal eh!
We are all going to very rich!
Oh hang on our total trade both ways today is £30b . Are we going into the heroin trade with them ?
I haven’t taken into account Covid and Brexit falls . |

Nah.
Around 10% (so 1 in 10 for the slow thinking) of UK companies export. I suspect the proportion of companies that export to Australia is minuscule. It's not really down to any tariff or quota, but down to distance and higher cost of sale.
What Truss basically claimed is that she's going to help companies export. There is, as usual, absolutely no detail on how she intends to do this.
You get +2 Internet Points for the sentence "Nothing wrong with a well negotiated trade deficit.". I have no idea what that's supposed to mean and I doubt you know it yourself |

Can I just ask, what large bulk product will we export? You know, industry supporting exports?
Does the deal include services?
Because otherwise this looks to be one-sided towards Australia:
- Australia has a lot of rare earth metals we need.
- A better growing climate to produce agri products - and these will have to be shipped and ripened during shipping to more expense and reducing quality.
- They produce meat and dairy for their internal market.
-and my understanding is they have a pretty protectionist manufacturing industry.
So what will they buy from us? |

Seems that only 1 in 5 companies export to Australia but with the trade deal that's hoped to change for the better as UK goods will be more competitive. Also it means the goods we have been buying from them are due to get cheaper
Can I just ask, what large bulk product will we export? You know, industry supporting exports?
Does the deal include services?
Because otherwise this looks to be one-sided towards Australia:
- Australia has a lot of rare earth metals we need.
- A better growing climate to produce agri products - and these will have to be shipped and ripened during shipping to more expense and reducing quality.
- They produce meat and dairy for their internal market.
-and my understanding is they have a pretty protectionist manufacturing industry.
So what will they buy from us?"
They have no car industry for a start |

"The Australia deal is all part of the plan to join the trans pacific trade partnership its just another cog in the wheel and thats why the EU are getting worried.
The EU don’t give a shit about the UK. You sure about that? Britain wasn't called treasure island by the eu for nothing.
Do you really think all those companies in the eu will be happy losing trade once we do.
They don’t care, they will all trade elsewhere, do you honestly think a huge trading block gives a shit about our tiny little island ? The have bigger fish to fry "
If they didn't care don't you think they would have let us leave on a no deal and made it as easy as possible. Your undying loyalty is commendable but you seem to have no grasp of business.
Would these bigger fish to fry include the mercosur trade deal that has taken 20 years to negotiate and has been kicked into touch by France and Ireland ? How long do you think it will take to replace all the lost trade with the uk? |

You must have the wrong guy mate when have i ever said that? the eu is there for a select few to have a good life and make a lot of money some have made a whole career travelling back and forth in style and lavish lunches to S America for the last 20 years and guess what no deal.Happy days for them as they can milk the system for another few years trying to get it right which of course they wont as then the cash cow will die for them.If you cant see its just a big club for the few and they dont actually give a toss about the people thats up to you. This is why corbyn and all his cronies have been against the eu from the start i dont like the guy but he could see exactly what is going on. |

- Australia has a lot of rare earth metals we need.
- A better growing climate to produce agri products - and these will have to be shipped and ripened during shipping to more expense and reducing quality.
- They produce meat and dairy for their internal market.
-and my understanding is they have a pretty protectionist manufacturing industry.
So what will they buy from us?
They have no car industry for a start
And what cars will they be buying from the UK?
Let me just check
Oh apparently we make 600,000 cars a year
Fancy that
For foreign owned companies, I will ask again, what cars will we sell and then ship half way across the world to Australia
They'll actually be very keen on Vauxhall so it could be a lifeline for Ellesmere, great news
Are you making that up, which model of Vauxhall would be of interests to the Australians? And why would they buy it from the UK and not elsewhere Obviously never heard of holden.

You mean the one that’s being disbanded
Good grief that's the point...
GM Holden, Commodore, Vauxhall VFR, brand loyalty...

An American brand? Personally I think their cars are low cost shite, but each to their own |

"The Australia deal is forecast to boost U.K. exports to Australia by £900 billion and Australian exports to the U.K. by £4.4 billion.
Nothing wrong with a well negotiated trade deficit.
This was discussed on marr this morning and turns out the figures are based on current trade figures with Australia. Seems that only 1 in 5 companies export to Australia but with the trade deal that's hoped to change for the better as UK goods will be more competitive. Also it means the goods we have been buying from them are due to get cheaper
Exactly. And the anticipated benefits were as noted in my post."
As said according to the program the figures quoted are what we have now (before a trade deal) not what we will have. The deficit mentioned is what we have now and did while in the EU. The deal will make UK products easier to sell in Australia due to no longer paying the tariff so the trade amount is expected to increase. At the same time stuff we import from Australia is expected to be cheaper as we no longer have to impose tariffs |

Think you need to check your figures. Australia is going to boost our total GDP by a third?
The UKs GDP is $2.8 trillion, are you sure . 3x 900b = 2.7T so I’m wrong by £100b
It will equate to a quarter if it’s £900Billion so our total GBP will be above £3.6T. Impressive trade deal eh!
We are all going to very rich!
Oh hang on our total trade both ways today is £30b . Are we going into the heroin trade with them ?
I haven’t taken into account Covid and Brexit falls .
$900 billion? Wow, that is amazing
It's one of your crowd who said 900 billion, 2nd post.
For accuracy best to stick with Brexiteer data.
No thanks, I want verified data not make believe , pound to the euro still at 1.15
Which is still .15 MORE that that crappy Euro!!!!
Far less than before the referendum, is this a Brexit benefit
And STILL more than the Euro. Which NEVER been above GBP Ever lmao."
Sterling is still more than the dollar so would you say biggest economy in the world is crappy?
Chinese yuan is 10 to the pound, I think I know who’s got the biggest wallet there. Parity isn’t a good measure of success.

"Australia will need all the trade deals it can get. Despite its size and resources, it has been suffering of late. "
Yes but I don’t see us being a knight in shining armour. We are their 12th biggest trade partner. Other countries have a lot more sway in Australia’s success. |

Holden are the Australian equivalent of the bodged left hand drive cars we get foisted on us here by the European manufacturers. However, some people buy them.
If I lived in the Antipodes I wouldn't drive or buy a Holden, Vauxhall or German import all the time you can get cars originally designed from scratch for right hand drive via the Japanese market.
I don't hold out too much hope of us being able to get an increased number of Japanese home market cars over here in the foreseeable future. When I travel to many other right hand drive countries I am envious of the choice they have, particularly luxury MPVs and Day Vans, which has been denied to us for years by the dominant German/French power of the EU car industry. |

Honestly sounds like you're talking about the 1970s. That's not how car design works these days. A huge number of original design studios are based in the UK.
Yes some Australians want Japanese econoboxes, as do many Americans. But there are very loyal GM / Ford followings who want our cars as well. |

Yep, some of the 600,000 we make every year in the UK.
Despite the shrieking lunatics who constantly talk the country down. |

What a shame, then, that the UK based designers don't seem to understand the ergonomics of true right hand drive cars instead of bodging designs intended for continental drivers.
"A huge number of original design studios are based in the UK".
That sounds impressive but how huge is it really?
A few of 'our cars' are designed with nodding acknowledgement to previous styling, such as Jaguar and Land Rover.
Getting back to Australia, it makes more sense to source their cars from Japan than from Europe. For a start they get a proper right hand drive car, not a compromise. I haven't been to Australia but in New Zealand I hardly saw any European cars (including 'our' Nissans etc).
A percentage of people, perhaps with image issues or money to burn, drove prestige German cars but it was almost insignificant. I did see the occasional Holden.
Second user Japanese home market models were by far the majority on the roads, as they are in many Commonwealth and independent RHD countries not subject to European restrictions. |

Sounds like the EU has failed totally to get exports going to Australia over the last 44 years then.
Now we are unleashed, watch us roar. |
