Chequers Ripped Apart (But Not Rejected Outright) By Branier

[Old Greg]

Sadly what you voted for, Greggy, is the opposite. They've said 'Free Trade' enough times so don't blame them for hoodwinking simpletons like you. You must have realised over the years that you don't understand complicated things. Nobody's perfect but with that weakness you shouldn't have voted on something complicated. You, and the other reckless people like you, have caused a lot of trouble. I sincerely hope you stay at home when the second Brexit referendum takes place, shortly.

Spoken like a true enemy of the Folk.

The EUSSR should be given an ultimatum. Accept the proposal wholesale or no more German car exports to the UK.

The UK just needs to make a few concessions and then it's all in the bin.

FTFY

Unless it softens (any more concessions by May politically impossible?) looks like Chequers is dead in the water.


Reported By The Independent:
"Customs and single market plan may not be 'legally feasible' or in the EU's interests" Barnier says

"Speaking in Brussels after a meeting with EU national ministers Michel Barnier raised a wide variety of serious concerns with the PM’s proposals on customs control and single market regulations for goods."

"Mr Barnier said Ms May’s complicated proposal for customs would likely create huge amounts of new paperwork, warning: “Brexit cannot and will not justify additional bureaucracy”."

"raised a series of concerns with the PM’s plan to keep the UK following a “common rulebook”"

"the plan to exclude UK services from following EU rules could give a “significant competitive advantage” to Britain and that agreeing to such a policy might not be in the EU’s own best interests."

unreasonable to exclude some goods such as animal feed from the rulebook ..
“We have a duty of care to protect consumer sin the single market and on which basis could we accept the free circulation of goods?”

"he EU could not delegate collection of its own customs duties to a country that was not a member state"

"not even be “legally feasible”"

“practical problems”

"major risk of fraud”
