Brexit and Future of UK : Discussions

The biggest roadblock for an India-EU FTA was the UK and its stance on services. While India benefits from Brexit, the US does not. So you can expect backlash from the US for the UK leaving the EU.

There was an article from ToI on it in my feed . I can't trace it now . Would appreciate if you post it . Juncker was flying high a couple of years ago - before Brexit , as per the article. Now he has a shiteaters smile , much like @BMD , desperately searching for a fig leaf to justify their Himalayan blunder .

But everything said and done , the last thing from India's perspective would be a unified EU , in addition to an assertive and aggressive China and a recalcitrant US.

Britain is a true friend indeed. Not so much in words but in deed.

I think A Person's posted the article.

Anyway, what's in India's interest is a militarily resurgent EU under France and Germany. That way the EU is far more effective against Russia and the US can focus more on containing China. As for their economy, Brexit, trade war etc, it's all bad for everybody.

You are forgetting all the imported car parts used. Those have to be localised or you will pay more and become less competitive in other countries.



Those are birds in the bushes. You can't even begin to think about that until Brexit actually happens.



I am not talking about the two-year period for Article 50. I am talking about the time it will take to localise production.

We produce most car parts here. Ricardo, Xtrac and Cosworth are the best in the world.

It's already been determined, we inherit the trade deals.

Not very long at all, the skills are already here.

The EU never included services in any trade deal, which is exactly why it never acted in our interests. The US will benefit from the UK leaving and you will probably see the creation of an Anglo trade deal.

If that were true, you wouldn't be importing car parts.

Yeah, I assumed we were talking about new deals.

The skills are fine, it's the capital infusion that will take time. I'm betting on the EU companies holding off on investments for a few years, until a proper trade deal between the UK and EU is worked out.

We are waiting for the WTO to create a proper framework first.

Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) - Trade - European Commission

An outcome caused by the EU and rectified by leaving it.

We can make those too.

A hard brexit will likely crash the EU debt markets.

You are too optimistic about something that is completely uncertain. Kinda like Modi's Make in India.

Weird thing, I had access to it for sometime. It basically said the UK will lose more in an FTA.

All the better for the UK.

The UK is the one most resistant to services opening up, at least in India's case.

Sorry, it was Saturday night. A country-country deal may well be easier. The EU has 27 nations, all with conflicting interests and any one country can veto things. That said, Mode 4 services is unlikely to be included in a deal with the UK, but we will be able to negotiate with you directly, rather than via a middle-man, who keeps having to go away to seek the opinion of 27 monkeys.

Modi is smart. You want an economy based on manufacturing not services, it will make a trade deal with the UK a lot easier.

Exactly, FTAs only cover goods, we don't want trade with the EU unless they include services.

In India's Mode 4 case they are resistant but the EU never includes services in any of its trade deals, which it why it doesn't work in our interests.

Typical lefty page. What it fails to mention is that an amount of trade equal to 20% of our GDP is coming into the UK right now, twice as much as is being exported. The whole anti-Brexit tirade has only ever examined one side of things and never the whole picture. What's also omitted from all these tirades is the impact on EU countries.
