The UK announced it was considering whether to join the Pan-Euro-Mediterranean (PEM) convention as part of its new trade strategy published last week, arguing it could help boost the UK’s flagging goods exports. However, the European Commission has made clear to the UK that it would not currently support such a move, according to four people familiar with discussions
UK got a divorce and still wants the ex to wash their clothes, huh? Pathetic.
Yeah but now we have blue passports!!!
or something, I don’t know. I’ve stopped following this shitshow now.
fun fact, that was always clickbait. the red color is only a recommendation. croatia’s is black.
Haah.
Everyone with half a brain knew that after Brexit Britain would spend the next 50 years trying to cut down on red tape and trade restrictions, effectively re-joining without re-joining.
And once more, the mighty island nation of Global Britain sets out to achieve the impossible: Entirely free trade with the EU without joining the customs union. And, of course, free movement only for goods.
I didn’t have a re-run of the Brexit comedy on my bingo card and am mightily annoyed, for my strategic popcorn reserves aren’t up to that, thanks to lack of foresight on my behalf, and the global political situation.
Was always going to be the case and should always be the case. We still think we’re some hot shit even after the lettuce basically killed London services. Rejoin should be our only option after how we left.
Fucking lettuce.
Thats not very funny
Storms off in a tantrum
Indeed. I don’t remember the lettuce doing anything wrong…
EU officials familiar with the discussion said the Commission had decided that the UK joining PEM was not currently in the EU’s interests, because it would increase the risk of products unfairly qualifying for low-tariff access to the bloc.
Makes sense
There is a reason why free trade with the EU is tied to regulatory alignment and the customs union.
The British, truly masters of the sea.
Very interesting assortment of flags to represent the eu lol
