What is chlorinated chicken? It goes on to say that these bacteria are more common in the USA than UK and EU due to the lower animal welfare standards there. Furthermore, it's not just chlorinated chicken; there are other practices allowed in US food production that currently aren’t permitted in UK food standards. Not what I read.

Now in his long career Barnier served as a European Commissioner for Regional Policy in the Prodi Commission (1999-2004) and worked years to solve the Irish situation. He was instrumental in bringing peace in Ireland through the Good Friday Agreement I'm not sure you are aware of the irony of the situation : with this five-years experience Barnier knows Ireland infinitely better than the successive british negociators he had to deal with. Actually he only came into it AFTER the Good Friday agreement was signed. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/SPEECH_18_3624 Edited November 29, 2020 by billd766 bloody wireless keyboards 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the conclusion of your link say it all Quote Following concerns raised by the poultry industry over the dual-tariff proposals, Environment secretary George Eustice and international trade secretary Liz Truss have written a joint letter to MPs insisting they won’t relax standards. The government remained “firmly committed to upholding our high environmental, food safety and animal welfare standards outside the EU”, the letter said. These standards included a ban on artificial growth hormones and set out that “no products, other than potable water, are approved to decontaminate poultry carcases”. Maybe you didn't read that far? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly the UK chose the most extremist form of Brexit, and negotiations will have to continue for many years. Most aspects of trade, policy, norms, not to mention whole economic sectors are not covered. Barnier never lost his temper, always polite with an unstable UK, he was able to show who in fact is "taking back control". Now wether there is a meager deal or no-deal in the next few days, the blueprint for a future deal has been laid down. 6 hours ago, puipuitom said: Correct. The British now discover it's no longer The British Empire, who negotiate with Zanzibar, Birma, the Boers or even the Catholic Irish, but the tiny British Isles negotiating with the EU BLOC.

As stated many, many times; that is what many UK fleet owners did with their fishing licences; sold them to foreign fleet owners! Also stated many, many times is the fact that not only do many UK fishers fish in what are now EU waters, many of those who fish in UK waters sell and/or land their catches in the EU! If the eu don,t want to honour britains right to participate in the single market,why should the uk worry about the eus current fishing rights?these will be ripped up 31 dec unless the eu stop their shenanigans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only. The quotas wont end after the transition period, whatever happens. They'll just be set by the UK, probably in conjunction with the EU. See UK–EU future relationship: fisheries. Of course, if we completely deny EU boats access to the fishing rights they were sold by UK feet owners, then expect the EU to deny UK boats access to the fishing rights they currently enjoy in EU waters. But I expect you'll call that dirty dealing by the EU! 1 hour ago, kingdong said: If the eu don,t want to honour britains right to participate in the single market,why should the uk worry about the eus current fishing rights?these will be ripped up 31 dec unless the eu stop their shenanigans. The UK has no right to participate in the single market. Only EU members have that right! Have you forgotten that we've left the EU? Non EU members have to negotiate access to the single market, and that access comes with conditions. As said many times, the UK should worry about the EU's fishing rights in UK waters not only because we want to maintain our fishing rights in their waters but also because we still want to sell a large proportion of our total catch to them. I'd post the figures again, except that'd be a waste of time because it's been done so many times. I'll assume that you must be ignoring them. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
