Ypou really believe the Japanese will open their markets to European cars?

That is so funny...

They already have. Lots of Renaults and Peugeots over there.

[VectraMan]

Of course they will. But somehow nobody will buy them.

The Yakuza are well known for driving Mercedes S-Classes.

The point is after this trade deal is signed Japan will have tariff free access to export cars to the EU, whereas the UK will still need to negotiate that. Germany of course will get tariff free access for their car exports to a market twice the size of the UK.

You need to think about that in particular as to how this will impact the UK´s negotiating position.

The Canada agreement includes elements of FOM for providing services.

Japan’s Top 10 Exports

Is it really a good idea to have a great trade deal with a country who pretty much make the same tulip as you?

Will the Germans really all start buying Japanese cars?

Or the french?

Sometimes I wonder if any of you fu<kwits have a brain - just because you have a trade deal it does not mean it will add value.

I'm looking forward to buy a cheaper Lexus and less expensive Kobe beef.

Din't May just provide Japanese car manufacturers assurances?

Yes. She told them that "deal that will work for everyone means a deal that will work for everyone".

BMW Mini. Made in Oxford. For now.

Except for those that are made in the Netherlands, such as nearly all new models.

So like the Canada deal then.

The Canada agreement includes elements of FOM for providing services.

[m0n1k3r]

It's better to have no deal, than a bad deal, remember?

Only if no deal means reverting to status quo, as it usually means in dealmaking.

[m0n1k3r]

Does the EU-Jap deal have FOM and ECJ strings attached?

Dispute resolution is through a supranational arbitration panel, so it would not fly with leavers who insist that English courts should have power over foreign countries in any FTA signed by the UK post-Brexit. Something about sovereignty for the UK but not for others.

They already do, but they're currently manufactured in the UK.

Guess where they´ll be coming from in the future. One wonders if the UK might have put a brake on that had they decided not to leave.

[WTFH]

The French might, they've absolutely no taste in the design department.

The French (Renault) already own Nissan and PSA have major ties with Toyota and Mitsubishi

[northernladyuk]

The EU accepted any terms just to attempt to get one over on the UK. The hatred of anyone who attempts to leave outweighs all else. Its hotel paranoia.

FTFY

Finally you understand what the remain camp were talking about. Brexit have been going on about getting a trade deal with the EU because "the EU will be desperate to deal with us". The EU will happily sign a trade deal if it has been negotiated well, but that doesn't force them to buy anything from the UK.

Glad you're on board now and finally understand that you made a mistake supporting the idea of leaving.
