It might very well be cheaper to do the whole process within the EU and export the final product to the UK, instead of dealing with all the crap.
Last but not least sacking people in UK is cheaper than doing so in France/Germany etc. coupled with a PR nightmare if they choice to sack EU workers over UK.
All of the above compounds, you might want to take off your rose tinted glasses.Comment

If we impose tariffs, the paperwork alone will be so onerous, most manufacturers would find it cheaper to build abroad and export here, even with tariffs.Hard Brexit now!

The best kind, the kind that hurts, the kind you don't forget.
But hey don't take my word for it.
The leader of "Economists for Brexit", Patrick Minford, predicts Brexit will essentially end manufacturing in Britain.
I agree with him.
Where we diverge is that he thinks it's a good idea.Last edited by sasguru; 6 March 2017, 16:46.Hard Brexit now!
