However, that relies on EU being willing to facilitate our move away from dependence on EU imports. Given their current attitude, that seems unlikely.Paul Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991999984214758071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8156972773801079896.post-5524152907714591392017-11-18T02:12:27.052-08:002017-11-18T02:12:27.052-08:00A possible half way house Paul would be for the UK...A possible half way house Paul would be for the UK to voluntarily continue with the agriculltural SPS regime for a few years, then phase it out. That would make things easier re. Ireland.<br /><br />Increasingly it seems to me the UK needs to lay out a detailed unilateral strategy in all these areas, with clear timetables and say to the EU that unless they have constructive suggestions these strategies will be going ahead.Potwalloperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17441000187089728787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8156972773801079896.post-2582170621075137792017-11-16T16:26:38.515-08:002017-11-16T16:26:38.515-08:00Well put and well said - I totally agree.

So the case for a really radical shake up of trading patterns here is strong. A glance back to 1970 or so shows a dramatically different picture.Potwalloperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17441000187089728787noreply@blogger.com
