and in practice it wouldn't be anything like that number. Don't forget, the EU needs export markets as much as they want imports.
edit: Actually as no EFTA member negotiates a trade deal with themselves, the answer is actually 31^2, which I'll leave as an exercise for VectraManLast edited by OwlHoot; 12 May 2016, 11:46.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

The answer is 32^2 which, to save you the effort of working it out, is 1024

But then due to the symmetry every treaty is counted twice. So you end up with 32 * (32 - 1) / 2 treaties, which is 496Last edited by OwlHoot; 12 May 2016, 11:54.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment
