fatshaft Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) at the moment all good imported into the uk from outside the eu come under wto, this adds less than 2% to the cost via tariffs it changes but it is 1.97% at the moment,this is the amount the uk treasury is getting clear? Tarriffs vary widely, between 4% to 32% under WTO rules. There sure isn't a flat rate. never said otherwise but actual income at the moment from wto tariffs is less than 2%....

You were of course implying that under WTO rules we'll be tariffed less than 2%, as will our exports, and then deliberately conflated the current increase in EU goods, which is solely down to the exchange rate and nothing else, as an example of how trading with Europe is more expensive.

Tarne Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Woody, the pound being weak is fucking terrible for buying stuff from the rest of the world, which is a lot. It's good for exporting but shite for purchasing. I can't see the pound getting stronger until Brexit is complete, and may slip below a pound a euro and dollar. On the plus side, we might just save ourselves from conquest by the Muslims. So it's swings and roundabouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody2 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 nope, you are import from outside under wto adds less than 2% to the cost, which goes to the treasury imports from the eu are 15% more expensive than can be bought from outside +we have to pay membership fee for this cartel, uk sees nothing of this increased cost this has been going on for years, well before the small change in sterling.....

woolley Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 The EU would be fine if it was just a trading bloc without all of the sovereignty eroding implications that go along with it that absolutely nobody signed up to except the European integration project elite. They knew how popular that was going to be and that's why they didn't bother shouting about it. The SNP/EU love-in is just a sideshow because the nats can use it as a vehicle to further their independence at any price agenda and dress it up as "choice". In reality they know that the EU cannot give them what the UK gives them. The wheels are coming off the EU aside from Brexit. The euro debacle has seen to that. Large parts of the population are in revolt against the effects of Brussels. Best case scenario is we finish up with the trading bloc we signed up to in the first place without the other nonsense. There will be an uncomfortable process to get there, but it has to happen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lxxx Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 The ECB are now under pressure to raise interest rates as their failed policy of negative rates has clearly failed. Non-euro area investors are now net sellers of Eurozone debt securities for the first time ever since the introduction of the euro. Clearly international capital thinks the Eurozone is a busted flush too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
