Britain will not seek to extend Brexit transition period, says minister

Looks like Pork is off the menu.

Every single Scottish Conservative MP – all of whom represent strong rural areas – voted to allow ractopamin pork into UK.

Ractopamine is an asthma drug which, when fed to pigs, causes growth spurts. Canada, EU, China & Russia have banned it for human consumption, as it’s too dangerous.

Banned in 160 countries but soon not the UK.

Enjoy. Suckers.

The largest meat producers in the USA banned the use of it in February.

that is why I said trade agreements in my first post.

There are not, I repeat not, 759 trade agreements. Read your own link.
Trade related agreements, treaties and common policies are NOT trade agreements or trade deals.
Again, read your own link.
The EU has roughly 40 trade agreements.

I have highlighted the relevant bit to make it easy for you

759 separate EU bilateral agreements with potential relevance to Britain, covering trade in nuclear goods, customs, fisheries, trade, transport and regulatory co-operation in areas such as antitrust or financial services.
 
I`ve edited your wasted space for you which pretty much sums you up :LOL: As for the rest of your post, well you really need to work on your mind reading before posting garbage. :rolleyes:
zero counter argument.....sums up a typical brexiteer: plenty of gob but nothing to back it up.

go on explain to me how UK exporters of perishable goods are going to deal with SpS checks, give the almost certain hold ups at borders
 
From your own link Notch.

The UK currently benefits from the terms of trade agreements, and other trade-related agreements, that the EU has with countries outside the Union. The Department for International Trade (DIT) has set as its second priority “to see a transition of [each of these] agreements to a UK agreement at the point that we leave the EU”. The exact number of EU trade agreements seems to be a matter of some uncertainty. There appear to be around 40 agreements with about 70 countries. Ten of the UK’s top 50 export markets for goods in 2015 were covered by these agreements. The third-country (nonEU) parties to the agreements account for around 11% of UK trade; and the prospective parties to those agreements which are nearest completion or awaiting ratification account for another 25% of UK trade. Unless action is taken, these trade agreements will cease to apply to the UK, without exception, at the point of Brexit in March 2019. In consequence, barriers to trade will be imposed. The EU is also a party to a wide range of other trade-related agreements, covering areas such as regulatory cooperation, aviation, customs procedures, the nuclear industry and agriculture. The number of these too is uncertain, but a suggested total figure for all EU trade-related agreements is 759 (with 168 countries). There is an urgent need for clarity over the number, type, scope, extent and importance of the EU’s trade-related agreements. The Government must reassure us that it has a firm grasp of precisely which agreements will cease to have effect in respect of the UK at the point of Brexit if no action is taken, and what the consequences of that would be.

C`mon how many times have you typed that? I reckon you have it on copy & paste and really are so predictable it is unreal. So as always nothing genuine to say so sprout squid, I would suggest you take your own words and reflect but I really don`t think you have the ability. I wonder, do you even know the difference between EU and SM because you seem not to.
 
Its always good to remind ourselves of the benefit of the EU's collective buying power..

The European Union has urged member states to work “together” after its executive branch was tasked with negotiating to buy coronavirus vaccines.

EU health official Stella Kyriakides said there was "overwhelming" support from EU governments for a European Commission plan to utilise a €2.4bn ($2.7bn; £2.15bn) fund to pay for vaccines.

Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands have already started talks with pharmaceutical companies to buy vaccines, a move that could weaken the EU's approach.
