With your financial background you know what your government says here:

A trade agreement with Australia could increase UK*GDP*in the long run by 0.01% in scenario 1 or 0.02% (within a range of between 0.02% and 0.03%) in scenario 2, which would be sustained over time.*This is equivalent to an increase of £200 million or £500 million compared to its 2018 level.*This increase reflects changes to the underlying economy brought about by a reduction in barriers with Australia.
The long run is generally assumed to mean 15 years from implementation of the agreement.

You see, therein lies the difference between the UK and EU. By investing in other countries, we improve the climate (which extends countries and continents as you maybe know).

You read up on emission rights and its sale?

You'll love your new border taxes then

There you are claiming your intelligent and the leading authority on the EU and the first thing I ask you and your stumped.
Omg! You were referring not to tax rules in the netherlands, but to the green deal, a directive. Again I have to explain how the EU functions.
Directives require EU countries to achieve a certain result, but leave them free to choose how to do so. EU countries must adopt measures to incorporate them into national law (transpose) in order to achieve the objectives set by the directive. In this case the dutch parliament has to ratify the laws that transpise the EU green deal. By that time the dutch public, me included, will be informed how our government proposes to achieve the goals. That is the moment for the representatives of the dutch people to amend or even refuse the laws.
We are talking about 2024-25. Both of us can be dead and buried by that time.

Like I said before, you really are concerned about our well being. I do appreciate it, you are a true friend of our great european family. Do I call you brother or comrade?

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. I can see plenty of shenanigans coming down the EU tracks in the next few years with more and more accusations of corruption over and around this "Green Deal".

Probably 100% :shrug:, (I've never kept count) unlike many of the remaining EU27 who routinely ignore them. I'm looking forward to seeing a "bonfire" in the not too distant future, though, where these directives (that have been holding back 80-90% of British industry that have no exports into the EU but still have to comply with them) are repealed.

Your government was much more clever. It declared those incorporated laws to british law. You can't distinguish then anymore.
