That is to say transferring to an EU nation flag...I am wondering if the IOM register will be affected in time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Govt is buying freight space in advance from trusted operators. Just in time is a key practice in many industries now. You supermarket goods are often packed and labelled and sent across at the last minute. Many component parts make several journeys to and from UK to Continent and back. I do not see why but they do and it is causing worry and some stockpiling. Using the term Remoaner is now old hat and out of date. We have all moved on and it is getting more serious. but according to pk we won't be getting anything from the eu........ "stockpiling" another remoaner term..... fact that they do it all the time seems to of been missed by some....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 If the UK imposes tariffs on food imports from the EU then, under WTO rules, it would also have to impose tariffs on similar imports from outside of the EU. But imposing tariffs would be politically stupid. The consumer does not want higher prices. In which case the cost of non EU imports can potentially be a downward pressure on prices. The missing links would be: 1. Exchange rates. 2. Whether leaving the EU increases transport costs. Much of what is imported into the UK comes via EU container ports. That is not going to change but the pricing could. Especially as the use of rail continues to increase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we have food banks. Once again it is a question of foodstuffs packed, labelled and prepared coming in not from the EU...which is not a food supply entity as such....but from the producers in EU member states some of whom import globally and then forward on raw or processed. The UK does a vast amount of this also..There are some bulk foods from EU producers ie rice for one...However, the issue is not sourcing but processing and transporting..Hence the Customs Union and Single Market concerns....Hence the UK Govt booking freight on ferries...Bulk foods we can source anywhere ie cereals, meat, fruit...It is the processed market that faces troubles...We survived merchant ships being sunk by the thousands in both world wars but in those days we bought raw foods and processed them ourselves often at home so we all got our ration. Now we expect everything to be done for us and a lot of that is done over on the Continent...Then there is the issue of produce from Spain...Trade will continue but the procedure may become irksome or not as we shall have to wait and see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
