"Correct me if I'm wrong .it is the UK that want to leave ... Well boris .come up with a plan .the backstop stays" The backstop was his plan. Now he's changed his mind. Fuck knows what he wants. | |||

"Correct me if I'm wrong .it is the UK that want to leave ... Well boris .come up with a plan .the backstop stays The backstop was his plan. Now he's changed his mind. Fuck knows what he wants." Are you sure it was his idea ? | |||

"Correct me if I'm wrong .it is the UK that want to leave ... Well boris .come up with a plan .the backstop stays" Where did you get that information? Getting facts correct is important especially when used for your own agenda of putting someone down or using it as an argument for your position. This may help. "The backstop was born on 8 November 2017. It entered the world weighing just 66 words, one bullet point of six at the bottom of a "working paper" circulated that morning by Michel Barnier's team to officials from the 27 member states." Tony Connelly. Europe editor | |||

" Even during the height of the troubles when it would have been a conceivable need it couldnt be done. Go google border posts during the troubles and you might get a surprise what a militarised border looks like in the United Kingdom. " Don't need Google. First hand experience is more accurate. If you lived here you'd also know how impossible it was to control. There were many roads that crisscrossed the boarders unmanned. | |||

It will be impossible under international law for there not to be a border between two jurisdictions who are on a path regulatory divergence. Yes, it may be possible to wing it for a few weeks until the UK starts to burn up EU regulatory alignment. Even the WTO won’t accept that. | |||

Don't forget agreements signed prior to any EU appearing which never removed nor superceded them. Part of the real pressure for the hard boarder is from EU. They want to have a say in the boarder between Ireland and UK. They can't conceive that these two countries having trade without they're say. | |||

What the job he resigned from? i dont care how you try to spin it,it wasnt his plan." Yeah that's all I meant. It wasn't his plan. But it was put forward with his support as foreign secretary. "His plan" was bad wording on my behalf. But I stand by the "fuck knows what his plan is now" comment. | |||
"The backstop was not his plan fuck knows what papers you read. He was Foreign Secretary when the Cabinet signed up to it at the conclusion of the phase one talks. What the job he resigned from? i dont care how you try to spin it,it wasnt his plan." The phase one agreement, including the backstop, was agreed in late 2017. Johnson was the Foreign Secretary of the Cabinet that signed it off. He resigned in July 2018. | |||

We're trusting a foreign government to do it for us with no say in the matter. And we don't know how much is transported on to the UK. | |||

" We will have a better control over our trade with Europe. They need it , especially Germany. We will have better access to other markets as a result. " Oh dear. How often do the Germans need to say this? The single market is of far greater importance to Germany, politically and economically, than the UK market. So no-one in Germany is arguing for a sweetheart deal with the UK that undermines the single market. No-one. And better access to other markets? We already have preferential access to other markets.

"He hasn't achieved anything in the last 2 days, maybe the blackm@il approach isn't working. That is right, nothing have happened during these 2 days I would suggest that very little has happened in the last three years.

" Yeah it's a mess. Spending all this time, money and resource on a self inflicted downturn in everything is so frustrating. All the things we could have done instead of mitigating Brexit. We were late on the preparation, compared to say Ireland who advised their citizens years ago. But yeah the prep should crack on. And I am far from convinced that Boris or any of the rest of them are doing anything to aim for a he least damaging brexit possible. Boris specifically will do very well out of the more damaging no deal. | |||

Just under wto they will be the same for Irish beef as argie beef. Currently I believe we check at least some imports of pharma from China. So helps check companies are complying. If we don't check Irish pharma as I understand it we have to stop checking Chinese pharma. A soft wto border leads to tarriffs and no checking. For all countries. On all borders.

At least that's my understanding of maintaining a border and MFN. " Just to clarify if it helps, the reason for import and export documentation checks is to ensure the product (whatever it is) has been manufactured or is produced to the regulatory standard we have set (or the standard required by the customer we are selling to ) For example: if we didn’t have specific standards for manufacture of 13amp plugs then anybody who can make them would do so, and when we buy and import them there wouldn’t be anything to check. We do have specific BS standard for 13 amp plugs and so whoever makes them for us has to provide certification to confirm they have been manufactured correctly. If that’s China, Germany, India, Australia - whoever - the import is checked because we have a required standard - also, we wouldn’t only check China plugs and not German plugs . All plugs would be checked because we have a standard . This is nothing to do with Wto. | |||

"I've had a quick look at this, and will lay my understanding (and ignorance) out there to be corrected. EN are European standards. As a member of CEN we currently adopt their standards. Any factory on the EU producing something under the EN is label to independant checks and audits to check compliance. As such, these products can move across borders unchecked. This trust over seen by ecj. Outside of the eu, there may not be same checks. And so are liable to custom checks. Once out of the eu, they revert to a third country so we apply the same checks. If we choose to do none, do Irish plug companies can export frictionless, we have to stop checking all plugs. And if we check plugs today from a small trader in China, presumably its for safety reasons among other things. So this trader can vlsim the right BS hss been met... But has it? " Still not quite there. En denotes it is a harmonised standard. Each country (in the world) has its own standards agency/organisation. CEN is the organisation (on behalf of the Eu) that overseas standards across the 30 odd countries. The uk (bsigroup) is a member, and will continue to be a member after brexit. The uk standards (bsigroup) have been around for a very long time and are constantly being amended, updated and formed as is required by the uk (and to follow other standards around the world ) Where a bs standard is the same as a EN standard the EN standard is adopted - mainly to comply with being in the Eu (you will often see a bs standard written as BS EN xxxxx to show it is a bs standard but it is identical and harmonised with the EN standard) Its not that we don’t have standards and we borrow those from CEN, it’s more that BSI group (like CEN) oversees and maintains BS standards and runs out standards parallel with those of CEN (who oversee all the individual standards agencies for each country). (As an aside Eu standards for some product is much lower than other countries) Manufacturers worldwide don’t automatically manufacture product to every known standard around the world . If an Irish company wants to sell plugs to the uk, they would identify a factory that has the capability to manufacture to the BS standards required for the plug. In order to fulfil compliance for a certified product the Irish company would have a sample checked and tested, have the factory audited, have materials audited etc etc all of which builds up a trail of documentation and certification that means when the finished product is manufactured and certified to the required BS standard. When the Irish company sells the plug to a buyer in the uk the uk company will ask “is the product compliant to BS xxx” Irish company says yes and provides certification. You are perhaps thinking that the Irish company (or trader in China) buys a load of plugs and then ships to uk, where they are checked at the point of import ? The process for standards and compliance actually starts much earlier... | |||
"Also there is the issue of us manufacturing to EN standards. Currently products made here for sale within the EU have to be certified as compliant with the relevant standards. So that our electrical goods don't electrocute people. So that our drugs don't kill people. Etc. After no deal brexit, we lose the use of all these certifications. Our companies might still make things in exactly the same way. But the consumers will not have the certification, they will have no way of knowing whether we have actually lowered our standards, made stuff cheaply that wil burst into flames or have sub-standard ingredients. Of course the country can spend millions, and years, setting up our own certification systems. Which will have to exactly mirror the operations and standards of the EU anyway. We used to do that. But then we saved millions every year by just sharing the use of the EU systems, at a proportional share of the cost of them. In the meantime, we couldn't even make nuts and bolts to be fitted on EU vehicles. Because if one of those nuts or bolts didn't fit properly, and broke or came undone while travelling at speed... The insurance company would say, there were uncertified components from the UK, the insurance is not valid. So proper no deal - no deal at all - means that all sorts of stuff from here can and will just be rejected in the EU. And in the rest of the world. Unless we make a deal. And pay to use the certification schemes." No, see reply above. | |||

"Thx. That kinda confirms my understanding of how the eu works, and all the checks + trust is how the SM works. But I'm unclear what the China Equivalanwt is. How does this work for a small Chinese company making plugs? And who does all the checks at the factory? Is this a British, Irish or Chinese auditor? If not British, how do we get comfortable the auditors are maintaining standards." Checks at the factory can be carried out by the buyer or the supplier may employ an agency to QC the manufacture (often at the start and end or manufacture, but also can be random ) China has its own standards for their country product. A Chinese plug for use in China is only compliant if it is correct to Chinese standard. Putting it another way, a Chinese plug for a Chinese home, manufactured to BS standard is not compliant . A small Chinese company making plugs could manufacture a Europe or British plug - providing they use correct materials and follow requirements of the EN or BS standard. The small Chinese manufacturer would not automatically make these plugs, as there is no guarantee they would get orders, and for to be able to manufacture to the en or bs standards involves cost (moulds, materials, testing certification, audits etc) Testing and certification can be done by labs around the world, including in China. A Chinese lab can be used providing it has been accredited by a testing body such as intertek, tuv, ul (and others..). Audits - bsci and others are common practice now for product entering the market . Depending on the type of product will determine what level of audit is required . This is just scratching the surface of what is involved ... my poor thumbs are getting a good workout this morning Suffice to say when a product gets to a border, if it’s been done properly, it will have All necessary documentation to confirm it is ok. Even if a rogue product tries to come in to the country (uk or Eu ) there are systems (pre-entry) which automatically flag certain categories and that would identify the consignment as a potential risk. It would then be pulled aside for further checks . | |||

My understanding is this final line of defence doesn't happen for anything coming from the eu, because of the SM. This is the leak which would be introduced if we stopped checking to accommodate zero checks on ireland.. And while plugs, as an example, can have lots of checks pre border crossing to get confident, other goods can be less commodotised and so have more checks. Again, using a risk based approach. Animal products (of some nature) has something like 50% checking if outside of the SM. | |||

NI or uk mainland wouldn’t be able to put it on the market as it wouldn’t be certified Even something moving from let’s say Germany to ROI (which wouldnt be checked at any point) would still have been tested and certified to the standards - without that being done, the product wouldn’t be on the market to be sold Something else to note is that, while shipments (imports and exports) currently don’t need the same declarations, after a certain monetary value of imports/exports within the Eu the supplier/customer is required to file monthly trade flow reports - which are essentially an exact record of what has been shipped, where to and to who. All of this data and audit trail is the key to achieving a less than hard border between ROI and NI | |||

Whether it’s product manufactured within the Eu or from outside of Eu But if we apply no checks to the Irish border we need to apply the same checks to all our borders. So those checks we do on Dover etc... Gone. Unfortunately It feels like we have come full circle .... I had hoped by demonstrating part of the early stages of the supply chain then it would show that no border doesn’t necessarily mean that checks are not being carried out. I'm not saying there are no checks. Just that a check we have now (and so, I would assume, deem necessary) will go. Its a backwards step. Just for clarity,.. which check is going?" For meat it's apparently document check, identity check, and as appropriate, a physical check. | |||

The abattoir would be required to confirm when the beast comes in that it had 5 legs and has a certificate to prove it. I feel like you've gone off-piste here. I'm not sure what you're saying. I am not repeating false information . The uk has its own set of standards that are harmonised with the standards set by the Eu. The point I made in the last post - if the Eu changed its standard for beef to have come from 5 legged cows, then the British standard would be updated. Exactly, you seem to now be in agreement with me. But before you were saying we're in control of our food safety standards. We are only in control of making them better. Until we leave. Then we can make them worse so that we can import American food produce. If beef farmers in uk want to sell to Eu, and the Eu have said the cows just have 5 legs then uk will start producing 5 legged cows - that’s commerce and the way business is done. If uk says we don’t like 5 legged cow meat so our market doesn’t have to have 5 legged cow meat standard then that’s up to us . Uk farmers can still have 4 legged cows and also produce 5 legged cows for their Eu customers. The 5 legged cows meet the standards for Eu, the 4 legged ones for our market . This is an extreme example I know ! Just for the record again.... uk standards will not drop after Brexit . As the us-uk deal keeps getting thrown what will happen is that us producers will have to produce product that meets our existing standards. The point is they will have access to the market - but that doesn’t mean they can flood it with any old shit !

" Uk standard are staying I'd hope so but depending how bad Brexit becomes I can see all our food standards being dropped like a sack of shit in order to get in cheap foods. Really ?? So you honestly think that this time next year we will all be eating crappy cheap food because the food standards would of dropped ?? Really ?? I don't believe I gave a time scale of 12 months, did I ? Do you also think we'll have trade deals negotiated by this time next year ? Sorry my mistake you didn’t give a time frame But you did say our food standard will be dropped like a sack of shit, do you think it might be 1 year, 5, 10, 20 or maybe 50 ? No I did not say it WILL be dropped, I said I can "see" our standards being dropped if Brexit is a disaster.... very big difference mate as per Ok when do you SEE the the the standards being dropped ? 1, 5, 10, 20 or 50 years Is the question, under what conditions can you SEE standards dropping.

You know full well how they make changes like this. They bundle stuff in together under one bill. With some positive sounding stuff, and they chuck in shit like this. Isn't removing EU restrictions/protections one of the main drivers behind brexit? | |||

Just because it's a terrible idea. Doesn't mean they won't do it and won't convince people along the way that there is some kind of benefit for them. Let me think. There must be a recent example of something that was a terrible idea for the country, something that would only benefit a select few, that they convinced people to vote for by using the time honoured tradition of misinformation and propaganda......

"I agree. Which in the specific case of chlorinated chicken is why we will see a repositioning of this not being a standards thing... Chlorination "protects" from the lower standards earlier in the process. And in general, I see this being a sticking point on trade agreements. Not just US. Because one it is a vote loser. And two, it will be an obvious outcome of brexit. (as we've seen with car job losses, if you can't draw a direct and clear link, brecit will be declared fully innocent)" Well if you want to talk about lower standards earlier in the process why does the eu let countries like france and spain produce foi gras?Its banned in the uk force feeding ducks and geese four times a day so their livers enlarge but the eu are quiet happy for this barbaric act to continue.I dont see this being on top of any remainers agenda. | |||
