Chlorinated Chickens are OK

If the UK doesn't have a trade deal with the EU regarding lamb, then British lamb will be subject to the same import tariffs as other non-EU countries.

Tariffs are not applied to specific countries, but apply to all countries, unless individual countries have made trade deals to reduce/remove the tariff in that area.

That works both ways. Should the UK decide to put a tariff on meat imports, then that will apply to all meat imports, not just the EU, until the UK manages to secure a trade deal with some country.

Hence why NZ is protesting about the 50/550ths lamb quota allocation proposed by the U.K. if Brexit happens. The EU's quota from NZ is 230,000 tonnes per year. However, within the EU, the U.K. takes 40% of this.

A simple 50/550ths split would disadvantage the exporter.

It's a simple example, but extrapolate this across every EU FTA and quota arrangement, with every third party to the contract wanting their say in approving any split.

But, the ultra-Brexiters keep telling us that all will be well with WTO rules.

Sounds to me like the WTO equivalent of the ECJ - the Dispute Settlement Gateway - will be telling us what to do for decades.

How long before the campaigns start to take us out of the WTO and take back control?

You are presuming the EU won't slap a high tariff on British Lamb to protect sheep farmers in the EU?

They definitely will and can get away with it being a larger trading block.

They cannot do that. If there is FTA, then there are no tariffs. If there is no FTA, then they can slap a high tariff on Lamb, but not specifically lamb from Britain.

Yes that's right you can only charge the same tariff to everyone not in a WTO recognised trading group and you can't go above the WTO tariff.

Not that this will help the UK as what is more in important is selling services.

Putting a tariff on imported goods only hurts the consumer. The consumer ends up subsidizing the farmer or car maker in affect (which you might want).

You are right services are really important to our economy, it's something we do well, services are to us as car making is to Germany. It's more about barriers, certifications and requirements etc for services. But making it difficult to buy our services also hurts the EU, they lose out on world class services that other countries can take advantage of.

Brexit: Liam Fox says 'no objection' to people eating chlorinated chicken | The Independent

Definitely a concession we can make so that we can also buy their gr8 cars as well.

Haven't they pumped chicken breasts up with water and pork protein?

Also some "hamburgers" are actually pork anyway.

Was with a Muslim mate who asked a vendor what meat they were selling and we were told it was pork.
