Ireland to enforce a hard border

[shaunbhoy]

As long as the UK is out of the EU, who cares.

The sad needy undemocratic churlish petty ones. Ye shall know them by their whiny demeanour.

A couple are so stupid they got the job as CUK mods.

Nice try, but yet again you are talking bollocks as you clearly have not researched the full capabilities and role of the facility in Newtonards.

And then someone will see a little bit of fooking sense and not increase the tariffs because it is of no benefit to either the EU or the UK

Nobody is increasing tariffs. Those are the scheduled tariffs that the EU sets for lamb imports from third countries with no trade agreement, which the UK will be.

The UK is choosing to be a third country, man up and accept what the tariffs on third countries are.

But the assumption is that those sheep from NI will no longer be needed in Eire - but that is not the case is it and so the EU needs to negotiate a deal with the UK so that the country in the EU does not suffer.

Or do you think that to punish the UK the EU should also punish it's own members?

What you seem to be trying to do is take abstract things and say this is what will happen without factoring in the reality of what will actually happen should the EU attempt to cut of it's nose to spite it's face.

No, that is not the assumption at all.

The EU has a schedule of tariffs lodged with the WTO that set out that tariffs on lamb from third countries with no other agreement is 40%.

When lamb from the UK is sent to the EU (whether this is from NI or from Wales or the Highlands) the importing tariff will be 40%.

If lamb from NI/Wales is now too expensive to import into the EU, then it will simply be purchased from elsewhere.

- but that is not the case is it and so the EU needs to negotiate a deal with the UK so that the country in the EU does not suffer.

Ireland can source any excess lamb from other EU states at 0%, or import from NZ, Australia, etc at reduced rates.

There's no punishment or spite, just the cold reality of tariff schedules and the UK being a third country. Nothing abstract about it - in fact, this is the opposite of abstract, it's written down on schedules lodged with the WTO.

What is the tariff on having your cake and eating it?

Lets hope there is a continued need for heavy lambs...

Yeah alright Richard Branson.

I may not be Sir Richard, but you are certainly a big Dick

Just because the concept of plants expanding to service increased market shares is something that doesn't come into play in the scrumping field that you and your fellow yokels eke out an existence from doesn't rule it out for profitable businesses.

Your lack of business acumen is clear to see. Not many businesses will have spare capacity as it's just not efficient and increases the unit costs of their products - if they do have spare capacity, then as a business they are probably struggling. That's not to say companies don't expand, of course they do, but this takes investment and time. You seem to think they can just up capacity the next day ... very naive but not surprising coming from a brexiter.

Nice try, but as we keep advising you, stick to insults as you're not very accomplished at anything else and just make a fool of yourself.
