EU warns UK of cheap food after brexit!!

According to the Guardian, Charles Michele of the EU has warned
that UK could be flooded with cheaper food once it has left the eu
after christmas?
Does he mean we will no longer have to pay the eu more than the
going rate anymore??
Surely that is one of the reasons for leaving??
Or has he just realised that eu does not have a captive market any
longer??

Dont ask me ST?
It was Charles Michele, ex PM of Belgium that said it !!
Perhaps he means that eu will have to remove the 'tariff' they put
onto any food imported into eu from non eu members??
And if they dont, then they cant compete with these non eu
members products?
Its a complicated web they have weaved !!

Shows how far and desperate the EU is to stop us leaving. Smacks of panicking now by them thinking of not having our financial contributions any more.

It is hitting home at last the realisation of them having to dig deeper into their own pockets

Re: EU warns UK of cheap food after brexit!!

What is wrong with cheaper food? The EU won't be adding a tax to exports will they? No country does that. Whether food is cheaper or not depends on the tariffs the UK imposes.

Sign an FTA with us and you will get lots of yummy BSE free beef, salmonella free chickens and more barley than you can poke a stick at. Not to mention coal, uranium, cotton, wool, copper, iron ore, lithium and lots of other goodies. Don't be shy.

Hi

Exactly right and we are imposing Tariffs on food.

If we get FTAs with the likes of New Zealand and Australia the price of beef and lamb will come down, but not until we get those FTAs

Nothing Brucy! But Charles Michele of the eu commission seems to
think we will have a problem with it??
I think it is the eu that has the problem, not us!!

You can keep your wool Bruce. Our sheep farmers are always bleating (pun intended) about the very low price of fleeces in the UK. Prices were so low this summer, some sheep farmers had to shear their own flocks because they couldn't get enough money back on the wool to pay for professional shearers to do the job for them.

Re: EU warns UK of cheap food after brexit!!

The price of Australian and New Zealand wine ( I buy it anyway) is cheaper than French so they can stuff their wine .
nZ lamb is also cheaper maybe we should buy meat from Australia - save the poor things going to the Middle East live meat trade.

What do we have to offer ?

IMO we should open more medical schools .

Our methods are the best let people come here to learn .
