The UK on the other hand has signed up over 60 trade agreements in about a year.
As far as the EU trade negotiations with India are concerned, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting. I doubt anyone can trust the EU now after their recent performance over Ireland, vaccines, direct control of industry, the handling of the pandemic, pandemic recovery funding and just about everything else thats been a disaster over the past year or so.
No country should make trade agreements with unelected leaders.

Re: India Looking Good
Nobody sensible ever said anything about Brexit was going to be easy.What happens is down to us.
So far it's looking more promising that I'd hoped, for a number of reasons.
If you're just wanting to ping-pong pointless comments Solasch you feel free, but it will be without further encouragement from me.
The EU has already made itself look foolish and you're not exactly helping to change that perspective by doing what amounts to little more than quibbling.
I have better things to do with my time.

According to Wikipedia, the UK has ratified 63 of the 70 or so "trade deals" it had as an EU member on its own terms in around a year, so it won't be long before we have more trade deals in place than all 27 countries that make up the EU.
Furthermore, I would imagine the trade deals will need to be renegotiated with the EU because the trade deficit of the UK was an integral part of those deals with the EU. Now the UK is on its own, we can make separate deals with these countries (as we have done), meaning the EU now has to find better terms with them to compete with us.
Have fun with that one Solasch.
