11 countries want trade agreements

By *olgate OP Man over a year ago

on the road to nowhere in particular

11 countries have already stated that they want post Brexit trade deals.

Iceland was the first country to officially offer a deal and Mexico although beaten by Iceland to the punch to be first, are the first country to have already drawn a free trade deal up.

Other countries include Australia, Canada, NZ, India and South Korea

Everyone seems to be so focused on trade with Europe. Who is to say we cant be better off with in the end with deals with non eu country's.

Nice to see we'll be getting the best of the best. Fish from Iceland (although everyone's been banging on about getting our fishing waters back so that doesn't matter) and what from Mexico? Main exports are cars and the production plants there are owned by GM and BMW.

435million left in the EU when we go. 5.5 billion on the rest of the planet. How have they all survived without being in the EU? We're doomed

Mexico merely want to tenser for the wall between England and Scotland. They'll have experience of building one by then!

all this nonsense from the EU saying the trade deal is a 4 combined trade is nonsense, saying we cant get trade without free movement of people is utter nonsense, USA are doing trade right now without free movement of people.

Dr Liam Fox has also confirmed this and he said he will be looking for a deal with EU with absolutely no free movement of people included, well spoken Mr. Fox

You seem to dismiss anything that doesn't fit your rhetoric as nonsense. I'm so excited to see all those magical deals work out so we can be rich and happy. Can't bloody wait hahahaha

You listen to much to EU unelected bureaucrats, Which ever Conservative candidate gets in will be dealing direct with each country PM and then in turn with EU, the trouble is there are far too many wimpering pessimists on this forum

Thats a good point. They can replace the £150m nett contribution the UK make every week. If not I'm sure the Italians are cash rich, or maybe Greece, if not Spain, or Luxemborg, maybe even the French will as they are renowned for their tolerance, I could go on but can't be arsed.

"Huffington post article states that TTIP is now dead in the water. If that is true, it has all been worth it"

Well that is fantastic news if true, as that was my main reason for voting Leave. I hated the thought that TTIP was being pushed through and even more that most people were unaware of what it was and how damaging it would have been, especially for the NHS.

The UK was always going to have trade deals. The EU didn't want this as it opens the economic door for other eu member states to leave.

Reality has very little to do with politics, thats the civil servants job.. every negotiation has starting points and they often have very little to do with the end result. Brussels is well known for comprises and this situation is no different.

Don't hold your breath, depends on who becomes the next tory leader and how strong the party becomes - and whether Corbyn gets ousted and who replaces him, followed by how strong the opposition becomes.

I agree that every negotiation has starting points and they are no where near the end point. This negotiation won't be any different. UK will ask for free trade without free movement and the end point won't be anywhere near that. There is no way the EU will allow that to happen because if it does then the EU, as we know it, will be finished.

Bottom line.. politics is 90% lies backed up by 10% truth. I never believe what I read. I make my judgements based on under lying principles and on how I feel about the people standing in front of me. Politics is mostly bollocks I just happen to like talking bollocks about bollocks

Roundabouts & u-turns! It's the name of the game. I voted ukip last year. I did so to send a message and that message was backed up by 4,000,000 others. The shock wave ran straight to the heart of the Tory party and the end result happened last Thursday. I got what I wanted.. next time I vote will be tory. Politics is a curooms game

If you're going to make an economic argument to leave, then contextualize it using a touchstone like the nhs, then use it as a photo op background, then repeat it after it's been debunked, then continue to use it as a photo op background, then row back on it, then go all politicians eh lolbanter, then how gullible do leave consider their voters?

Of course they all want trade agreements, that's the nature of business!.

The facts of the matter are.... We currently send out of the country about 10 billon pounds a month in excess imports to exports!.

This money then comes back as "foreign investment" to buy up national infrastructure, roads, rail, airports, electric, water, health... To then make a profit of you again.

No country can do this continually without problems.

We need to get back to making things and selling them to other country's, this will NOT be easy and much pain will be had for lots of us!.

no it wasn't"

Point 1. The EU and particularly the Eurozone has been dead in the water for years. But no-one would admit it.

Point 2. Free movement and the current EU set up only came about at the Maastricht a Treaty....signed by the great Eurofile..... Thatcher (yet many seem to think she was anti Europe?) fooled you all didn't she!

A good starting point would be for people to realise that everyone needs to be better educated and possess more skills in order that the country can make the high quality products that can be sold and exported.

The days of mass employment of unskilled people are gone from these shores. The future is better education and skills.

The £350million quote did not come from Farage, it came from the Tory party leave campaign, not Farage. It was subsequently withdrawn, and put down as a mistake made by the Tory leave campaign. Farage when asked gave this explanation and said it was a mistake. If I were a conspiracy theorist I might suggest it was a deliberate attempt to scupper the Brexit campaign.

The problem Farage has now is where does he go from here? Soon to be an ex MEP his mission is almost complete

He could get involved in actually trying to get us on track for trading with the EU again, rather than trying to burn bridges. Or you know, go help the working class people he says he represents.

On another note, if we o have to take free movement of labour, I imagine UKIP will take that up as their next cause - or to get proportional representation through so they can translate support to parliament more.

A lot of people who wanted to remain wanted a political party in the European parliament which would actually campaign for EU reform like a lot of people across europe - optimistic like.

However, beyond voting them in and out every few years, we can't really hold our own politicians to account. Eg, beyond an opposition leader trying to repeal policies/hold them to account, if a party promises to do or not to do something, they can easily g back on it without anything beyond pissing the public of.

Funnily enough, MEPs often held one another to account and the EU commissioners and departments.

So basically it was just like our own government, just pan-European and than evn less people paid attention to the fact that they could vote MEP's in an out.

You'd really want to brush up on your knowledge of the EU. Although doing that after you voted to leave is a waste of time, but still. Better than nothing. UK, and EU, already had FREE trade agreements with Mexico and Iceland. EU has free trade agreements with a lot of countries.

Just out of curiosity - which other countries do we have free trade with..?

Was the EU stopping us having free trade with any countries that wanted to trade with us..?

Is a better deal possible - without access to single market if we already have free trade agreements in place with countries outside EU, because of the EU...?

Hmmm

the reason other countries will want to renegotiate trade agreements is we will no longer have free access to a market of over 500,billion of course they will want to renegotiate

Not sure on the second question.I wouldn't know enough about UK's trade desires.

Better deal possible for who and what? When the UK leaves EU it will have to start over from scratch with brand new trade agreements with every country in the world.

The trade agreements have to be in line with EU regulations, any agreements in place under EU regulations will have to be renegotiated once we leave. India do not have a trade agreement with Europe and have almost given up hope of getting one.

Many in the remain campaign say we are dead in the water once we leave. Being invited to join the European free trade agreement suggests otherwise.

Brilliant analysis!

In other news:

* Pound falls as Bank of England hints at fresh stimulus measures

*A deteriorating economic outlook means action from the Bank is likely during the summer, Mr Carney said.A cut in interest rates would have a knock-on effect on savings rates, and makes the pound a less attractive currency to hold and do business in.

* Market volatility

* Mr Carney said that the Bank stood ready to provide more than £250bn of additional funds if required.

Initially traders and investors saw heavy falls, but then there was a recovery with the FTSE 100 moving back above where it had closed last Thursday.

The FTSE 250 index - which contains more UK-focused companies - still remains clearly lower than its pre-referendum level.

We haven't Left yet in case you hadn't noticed all the markets did was react to an opinion the real damage comes when we actually still part of EU so of course markets stabilise ..were chugging along because nothing has changed yet ..part of the EU part of the prosperity its only when we go it alone will the situation change ..when the markets get a hint ow which way the UK will jump ..

Leave are obviously bored of it as it's been wiped from the website

Do you accept that Farage didn't say it?

Do you always believe everything you hear?

I have been listening to Corbyn saying leave for all his political life and Boris say remain for all of his.

Are you that naive?

Are you genuinely gullible?

While I respect some politicians more than others, I always look for the hidden agenda. I suggest you read macchievelli

www.telegraph.co.uk/.../nigel-farage-350-million-pledge-to-fund-the-nhs-was-a-mista...

The problem Farage has now is where does he go from here? Soon to be an ex MEP his mission is almost complete "

His boss has got other plans for ukip, which may or may nit involve Farage (even he sounds exasperated by Farage)

"11 countries have already stated that they want post Brexit trade deals.

Iceland was the first country to officially offer a deal and Mexico although beaten by Iceland to the punch to be first, are the first country to have already drawn a free trade deal up.

Other countries include Australia, Canada, NZ, India and South Korea

When people start working out why you can't just simply swap one set of international markets for another, they may start to realise why voting Leave was the most foolish thing they've ever done.

And the pound spiked the day before when speculators expected a remain win. The pound is where it is and will eventually end up where it should be. Why are you so obsessed with it? The markets are up, why are you all obsessed with saying they are on the way down? Is there some kind of social media brain washing going on that takes people with adequate intelligence and turns them into zombie clones?

What ever trade agreements that are in place now will need to be renegotiated.

Obama saying we go to the back of the queue was obviously a speech written by a British speech writer for the remain camp. Firstly, USA doesn't use the word queue, they say line. Secondly, he is the outgoing president and will be gone before any negotiations even start.

TTIP which was due to be finalised by Christmas has now been blown out of the water. Another round of negotiations will have to be written up. We now go to the front of the queue because trade with us is more important.

The £350million quote did not come from Farage, it came from the Tory party leave campaign, not Farage. It was subsequently withdrawn, and put down as a mistake made by the Tory leave campaign.

they only started to backtrack on it after the result, till then they were standing by it as fact on their now hidden/wiped clean website and during the campaign..

it was one of their core points and it will have helped to sway some voters, despite the ONS and others telling them it was not true they ignored that and continued to peddle a lie..

Wondered where you had been hiding? You seemed to go missing from the forum for several days after the referendum result, I heard on the news that someone from the Remain side needed counselling following the decision of the Uk to leave the EU, was that person you and were you seeing a shrink?

Or maybe you had gone into hiding with George Osborne?

Seeing as you are bringing up what people had said "on record" in the past, let me remind you what you said "on record" on this very forum in a post you made directed towards me on an EU thread last year, you said...."I look forward to your defeat in 2017".

Forgive me for skipping a long Thread but can I remind everyone we already HAVE Bilateral Trade deals with every country we trade with. Its not having a trade deal as the Remainers, BBC and the Guardian drone on about. Its the Tariffs. Sadly we are shackled by the EU and its protectionist stance against countries outside the EU and consequently we have to charge high tariff on imports. 10% on US imported goods for example but despite that the USA is still our biggest export market.

What people like Mexico and Australia etc are now asking for is Free Trade Agreements which have always increased trade between countries, which adds to GDP whether its Imports or Exports. The USA will be along soon and we will allow them to bypass the queue.

We trade a surplus on non-EU goods and services. We trade a nett deficit of £77 Bn on goods to the EU but trade a surplus on services. But we still lose £61 Bn a year trading with the EU. And we pay for the privilege.... !!

It is a total no brainer that we dump the politically driven EU Monstrosity and start going back to what we have always been. A great global mercantile trading nation.

Oh and I bet the Remainers on here didn't even know the 'Single Market' in Services (where we are the world leader) hasn't even been completed. It doesn't exist.... So we use an EU 'passport'.

Well I stand corrected. But given Mexico goods are charged at duties between 0% and 140% its not the sort of agreement I had in mind. 'Free Trade' can mean people can move goods unhindered but there may be a price to pay. And we trade on that basis now all over the world.

The EU has a 'Trade Agreement' with the USA but we have to charge 10% on their goods on importation.

"Huffington post article states that TTIP is now dead in the water. If that is true, it has all been worth it"

I wouldn't go quite that far to agree but TTIP, which had been championed by the Conservatives, including Johnson and Cameron, would have been a toxic deal for smaller countries against the USA. I do hope it sinks without trace. The enforced secrecy was disgusting.

So is that a flat 10% on every commodity?, from a bottle of water to a bottle of scotch?, a boat plane train or automobile?, pair of jeans to another brick in the wall?, everything is subject to 10% you say?

not sure what you mean by project Rolex they are only for telling the time and with interest rates about to half (0.5% down to 0.25%)it may be a good time to continue with property investments, especially with the chance of many remain voters relocating to Scotland as well as companies relocating to Edinburgh (seems house prises may rise with the demand).

Well there you go, singing the benefits of membership of the EU for Scotland and at long last on the remain hymn sheet.

Staying in the EU while the rest of the UK sails merrily into the socio-political mid-Atlantic would work very well for Scotland. You can keep the foreign direct investment attracted by EU membership as an English speaking gateway to the EU and drain FDI away from industry south of the border where we used to be that gateway. Then of course Edinburgh could use its position in the EU make a move to replace London as a hub in the financial services market whilst the people down south wait for a trade deal in 5-10 years time that brings them somewhere near to where they were before Brexit, just not quite as good and quite a bit more expensive and with less control.

Yep, you've sold it to me. Scotland should fight as hard as possible stay in the EU and reap the benefits. Stuff the rest of the UK and keep singing off that remain hymn sheet.

As if we should believe anything originating from the UKIP propaganda organ and their 350 million lies a week.

On the other hand, you've got to hand it to hand in hand for putting forward an excellent case for how much better off Scotland would be if they remained in the EU - they'd get all the investment benefits that the rest of the UK voted to throw away.

There was much made of the risks of our economy collapsing, trade drying up etc if we were to vote out, and, indeed, the markets did dive..... for a whole week before bouncing back!

The only reason the EU is trying to put free movement of people as a red line for talks is because they need us to take some of the load, and if we get a deal without free movement, then the rest of the EU will want a referendum.

If it was what other countries have is that You have a sponser offering you work then you gain entry to work I don't see a problem with that system.

It's the come one come all even when you don't have a job to go to or the means to live that I do not agree with.

Of corse if the jpb finishes then the right to br here finishes as well othewise you would have so many bogus jobs springing up it would just be another way in.

Premature !!!!! the risk to the economy is from brexit we havnt left yet are you that naive to believe the opinion of a nation will cause financial colapse its the action of leaving that could cause collapse. And that depends on what agreements are negotiated upon leaving ..no clear indication has been given on such issues as how joint assets or debts with the EU will be divided yet .how we will trade with them .as 50% or our exports goes that way and only 10% Of there comes this way who has the most to loose ..expect many days like black Friday to come before its over ...

Well percentages are always misleading especially when you don't disclose the 'percentage of what' accurately.

The reality, and what will lead the trade negotiations, is that we traded an annual £77 Billion deficit on goods with the EU (last figures I could find). We traded a surplus on Services which reduced our overall deficit to £61 Billion. Interesting that there isn't actually a 'Single Market' in Services yet.. But moving swiftly on: So whatever Tariffs or duties the EU imposes on the UK we will return the favour. Numerically that means (at say 10%) we end up with a £6 Bn a year bonus. Now it isn't that simple as prices on those Imported EU goods will rise and therefore demand will reduce but being outside the EU we could funnel the duties received from Imports into reducing the costs of Exports and making us 'Duty Neutral' on Exports.

As is so often repeated the EU (and particularly the Germans) needs the UK marketplace more than the UK now needs the EU marketplace. The rest of the world beckons, is already after our trade and is a lot bigger and growing faster than the EU. Which just got considerably smaller with a higher per capita unemployment rate now we have left....

The reality is that if the Uk imposes an average 10% duty on imports that duty is paid by you and me. Also it's not 10% of our balance of trade it's 10% of our entire eu import bill. That's one tenth of about 220 billion i.e. A 22 billion pounds a year tax on uk consumers.

That is one aspect of the Brexit tax.

It makes no sense to nett off import duties paid by other countries. They simply go into the treasuries of those countries. The nett effect of duties is to increase everyone's taxes here and abroad.

That's £22 bn a year we as a nation would be worse off because we as individuals end up paying for the tariffs. Don't forget that we'll pay another 20% vat on that too.

Remember to say thanks for the Brexit tax as you pay for it at a rate of at least £405 million per week.

Germany has 1 million jobs tied to the exports they send to the UK.... do you really think they will risk that by adopting a hardline approach?

The ball is very much in our court, we import from the EU more than we export, they need us more than we need them!

Despite popular believe, Germany isn't in charge of the EU. It doesn't really matter what they want.

You are correct in that import duties will raise prices here on imports from the EU BUT if we go free trade with the rest of the world that will lower prices on goods from there, without doing some serious research I dont know which products from the EU we can replace with similar from around the world and of course our government could ust the import duty to reduce taxes in ways that would help the less well off IE remove VAT on energy for low volume users that would be an instant 5% saving and maybe use the money raised to add funds to the NHS, And perhaps higher prices on german top of the range cars etc would help uk producers and increase jobs here and a lower pound will help exporters too. We are leaving so we can go two ways moan and complain and give in or use it as a huge opportunity.Remember the UK has created more jobs in the last 7 years than the whole of the EU put together, just imagine what we can do now we are free of them

I was pointing out that the earlier post claiming we'd make 6 billion a year out of duties on the trade differential is misleading and based in a misunderstanding of who pays the tax I.e you and I.

If we raise import duties against the eu we have to raise them for the rest of the world too - thats the wto rules - until ftas are negotiated which will take years.

Then of course we have to factor in the devaluation of sterling on our global imports. A 5% fall on the value if the pound is worth another £20 bn a year we have to pay for imports wherever they come from and whatever the duty rate is . Also it doesn't matter if devaluation stimulates our exports we still ens up paying more out for imports and they are much higher value than our exports.

Add another £400 million a week to that brexit tax and say thanks to ukip

Someone as usual just gave the Import side of the Duty argument. Its like there was no export duty revenue for the UK... Tut.

In April 2016 Germany, Holland and Switzerland exported more to us than any other country except the USA. The difference being the USA imported some 30% more from the UK than they exported. We make a profit out of the USA. And yes I do know Switzerland isn't IN the EU but it will be affected by EU rules on trade. I just make the point that those three countries exported £11.4 Bn to the UK. they bought £4.8 Bn. So in one month for 3 countries a 10% common duty will raise £1.14 Billion and cost us £0.48 Bn. A Nett profit for the UK Treasury of some £0.7 Bn.

https://www.uktradeinfo.com/Statistics/OverseasTradeStatistics/Pages/OTS.aspx

And of course someone also didn't read my comments in his rush to put out the 'Brexit Tax' soundbite as I said a) its not that simple, b) the rest of the world is bigger than the now depleted EU and c) we could use the all of the duty revenue from imports (not just the profit) to make our exports 'duty neutral' and remain competitive. If people in the UK still want to buy EU goods possibly 10% dearer (although as the Duty is levied on CIF costs the retail price is not 10% higher) then they have that choice as it is their money. No one forces anyone to buy a BMW. But they may just find the Range Rover is a better choice now.

By any analysis the EU would be utterly stupid to raise the prospect of major Tariffs. But then it IS the EU and stupidity abounds....

As usual from you hectoring and personal attacks accompanied by a huge smoke screen cries of I didn't say that and this is what I really meant.

The basics are chalk old son you got your sums wrong again. It's even more laughable that in your smoke screen you add in an export duty tax. So you want to make our exports even less competitive, well done. As for your stunning lack of understanding of how retail prices are derived without including the duty, all i can say is it's stunning lack of understanding.

Please carry on lecturing us all how economics and commerce don't work as a continuation of the campaign lies. I can dislike your nonsense less knowing it's ignorance and not only malice that drives you

The WTO rates are the maximum that can be charged and are the default position so when we leave they are what we will pay on imports and what the EU will pay on their imports from us, as far as I know the EU currently has no general goods trade deal with the usa despite trying to sort one for best part of 20 years so our situation with them will stay the same until we do a deal with them, we cant charge more than the standard rates to any one.The FACTS are that if the pound drops against the Euro it will make our exports cheaper their imports to us dearer which makes life easier for our exporters and manufacturers at home and harder for the EU ones tariffs will add costs to both sides so if the eu want to take forever it will hit them harder as they sell more and if we drop charges by doing deals with other countries that will hit the eu if we replace their products with those from around the world without tariffs.I am not saying that it will be all to our benefit but the fact is the EU have more to lose than us

Except it wasn't the Import Tax you made your usual smartarse comment about. It was the 'Export Tax' as you called it. I merely stated the obvious and said we con't pay an 'Export Tax'. Plainly obvious because it will be EU citizens doing that.

But never mind keep changing the words to suit your agenda Old Son ..
