Brexit Has Made Us A Nation Of Rule Takers, Not Rule Makers
35 Answers
Those of you too stupid to acknowledge this, what this video where things are explained for you.
What UK exporters also need to be aware of is that each EU country is a sovereign nation and as such can set their own checks criteria on goods arriving from outside the EU. So what might work for sending goods to Germany may not be acceptable for goods destined for the Netherlands, or any other EU nation.
This Brexit thing has become a nightmare for UK exporters - and it's going to get worse.

On the contrary, it was having an external unaccountable elite in charge that made us rule takers. Brexit cut that. The only reason we wouldn't be rulemakers now would be incompetent politicians being elected.
There is no nightmare for exporters save though who are not capable of doing their job, and only getting away with it because they capitulated to the EU. In which case they've now ben found out. And of course every nation has it's own standards. That's the point. And we do too.
Some don't seem to be able to cope with the realities of life, in which case they need to go home and wrap themselves in cotton wool, and find a mantra they can repeat to keep themselves calm.

Given up answering on most of a few of posters threads on here but feel it is wrong that they get away with calling anyone who doesn't agree with them either stupid or idiots. If most of us were to do it the post would get removed yet these posters get away with almost anything. Is it one rule for them and one for the rest of us and I know this has been asked before yet they still get away with it.
Lankeela, I’m getting quite complacent with their language that if you don’t agree with what they say then you get called thicko, etc, the Mods are able to see this yet they ‘might’ get a mild warning but their post stands whist people such as TTTs is swiftly removed , so I don’t bother reporting anything , anymore
Despite you beginning your question by mentioning the stupidity of people who disagree with you, and since the weather is not too good today, I’ll start a proper conversation and, out of interest, see how long it takes to degenerate into further insults.
//What UK exporters also need to be aware of is that each EU country is a sovereign nation and as such can set their own checks criteria on goods arriving from outside the EU//
Most of the product rules are harmonised in the EU. This means that the same rules apply in all EU countries. Rules are applied to product groups, such as food, toys, or electrical goods. Others are covered by harmonised product characteristics. This means a UK exporter selling those goods to EU countries needs to comply with just one set of standards. Where a product is not covered by this harmonisation, the seller has only to comply with the standards set by the individual country or countries he intends to sell them to. But the important point (as far as your statement above goes) is that this situation prevailed whilst we were EU members and still applies today to the remaining 27 members. If a German trader wants to sell goods not covered by the harmonisation rules to multiple EU countries he has to comply with the standards set by each of those countries and is thus in the same position as a UK trader.
Of course whilst the UK was a member of the EU it had to accept EU standards where they were harmonised and could not set its own standards. Now it can.
Incredible as it may seem, the rest of the world (the vast majority of countries) seems to manage perfectly well without a single market and customs union and no other group of countries has attempted to replicate the EU model. The UK has decided to join them.

I stopped replying to Gulliver months ago, and now Hymie is on the list too - as this site only survives on the number of posts/answers maybe if everyone stopped acknowledging the absolute twaddle that they spout the site owners would realise they are killing it. I don't understand why people give them the time of day.
