The Hauts-de-France region in the north of that country (where President Emmanuel Macron was born) also has strong economic ties to the U.K. Its official, François Decoster, stresses that “in the automotive sector, there are major concerns regarding future relations with the U.K, particularly on the part of the car maker Toyota, which operates in the region. For example, 13 percent of Yaris exports in 2016 went to the U.K.”

There are also concerns about the port of Calais. If the U.K. leaves the single market and customs union — as is the government's stated aim — “the police/customs authorities will have to treat the U.K. like any other third country, for example by applying the common customs tariff to goods originating in the U.K,” the submission reads. "This could have a negative impact on the fluidity of trade flows between the ports of Calais and Dover," it warns.

The French département of Finistère, in Brittany, is bracing itself for a hit to its fishermen. “The end of the access to the British fishing areas to the Finistère fishing boats is a real economic risk, 50 percent of the fishing activity in Brittany region ... is made inside the British Exclusive Economic Zone,” warned local official Nathalie Sarrabezolles.

lol Calais is already a dump

And it'll be even worse

“Wholesaling and processing of sea products provides 5,000 jobs in 150 companies. Thus significant effects are to be expected in the case of a hard Brexit,” he adds. The official warns that if the U.K. withdraws from the CFP, the whole thing may "unravel."

Getting out of CFP and CAP is one of the key (albeit minor) reasons for getting out of the EU

Perhaps all these threats, whether to EU economies or to our own, should be addressed by pointing out "Well this wouldn't be happening if the EU had remained a trade-only body and the UK retained full control of it's borders/immigration"

Because let's get real, this is why this is all happening - EU federal project creep + intransigence on their part

Been asking more suppliers about brexit

As they are coming in for sales meetings, discounts etc

I continue to be told "We have stock it's not gonna be an issue"

It's as if they prepared or something

"Can you give me a lead time?"

3-5 working days

"What about after the 31st?"

*Slight chuckle*

3-5 working days

It was always a project-fear thing, the delays were only going to be transient during the switchover

Honestly zero suppliers are worried

So why the fuck should I be worried

Those guys are the ones that actually have to do the paperwork

In fact it's decreased lead times in a few cases

As some companies have been setting up warehouse space in the UK

So I'm getting some stuff next day instead

Electrical cabinets used to be over a week lead time

I got the latest in 2 days

The thing that is hurting us is this stupid political shit.
**The matter has been settled**
We had the vote!
No ifs or buts
You should have put the energy you are using to whining about the result into campaigning in the 2016 referendum if it was so important to you

But you didn’t

So reap what you sow

>Thinking voting matters

>Democrat

<:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

do abstain from voting?

Voting needs to be heavily restricted

To those earning over a certain amount of money and over a certain age.

Possibly to those with college level education and above as well.

Certain age yes 18

Money no

Age, 21.

Education no

King Remainer vibes here
