Freight by sea is incredibly cheap. So the cheapest place to build something is where labor, capital and taxes are lowest. As all those things can manipulated by national governments, that's why tariffs, country of origin declarations and minimum product quality standards exist in the first place - to stop cheating. Or to protect domestic manufacturers if you prefer that rational. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll let you use your two brain cells to work out why that might be. And BTW, this only applies if the Republicans are in office, the Democrats are not our friends so we have get this over the line before November .........so says @RTB from his second home on Fantasy Island 😂😂 As I said originally - idiots like mad Moyo, and that clearly includes you, will happily lap up a very bad deal with the US because that is all that is going to be on offer.

Japan already has a zero tariffs on car imports into the EU under the new deal. Obvious reasons are transportation costs, labour availability, subsidies, and time to get to market, amongst others.

If that is a victory I would hate to see him lose. Or rather as someone who voted Remain I would love to see him "lose" because that would be in our best interests. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fairly typical Little Englander response from you @paul moy and @SwindonCanary. What I see is a UK that has improved beyond all recognition during the countries membership of the EU. I have no problem with the regulations on food, products, employee rights and the environment that have been introduced in that time often, often at the behest of the UK. The UK has become increasingly tolerant and cosmopolitan and that along with democracy and peace has also spread across Europe. It is something to be proud of. You two are so desparate to be right, to win at any cost that you will accept any price, any indignity to get what you think you want. You don't seem to actually like anyone, the 16+ million who voted Remain, the EU, foreigners, different religions or beliefs, the Scots etc except white English speaking middle aged men and the countries they govern. The country you want is old, conservative, white and prejudiced. That is not a country I can be proud of, that is not a country that the majority want. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwindonCanary 455 Posted February 4, 2020 always look on the down side of life ! I'm not desperate to win at any price, I believe we can do well on our own, not propped up by the EU. You wrote that Boris lost it when he negotiated, but I believe he won. The Irish border is open for trade which is what they wanted, whilst the rest of us are out which is what we wanted All winners and Boris played it very well.= Believe in the man it may help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwindonCanary 455 Posted February 4, 2020 Higher EU production costs exporting to the UK, plus tariffs on UK consumers the EU brings on itself, will obviously put up the sticker prices of EU cars sold here.While UK car prices remain the same.And the imports of cars from the rest of the world to a UK outside of the EU's Customs Union's often penal External tariffs (around 10% on non-EU produced cars) will look cheaper to UK consumers.The EU exports annually around 2 million cars here, we export to them around 800,000, and so our demand pattern will shift away from the EU produced cars, to both Buy British and rest of the world cars. I just wonder why it took Nissan so long to realize that Brexit would increase their market share here, especially if EU car producers here, move production to the EU.
