@clivebirch4066 The UK soon needs more new burocracy to just manage the new border, than the hole burocracy sitting in Brussels for everything not just trade. Do you really believe you can have any government / law making without burocracy? Maybe you should read up what the British Civil Service is and what it does.

@Koellenburg Your ignorance on this makes me smile. The EU is a global player and trade wise larger than anybody else on the planet even without the UK. Why do you think the EU doesn't give the UK a free trade deal without acceptance of the level playing field first or why it did not agree to the US trade deal TTIP? Because those are trying to undermine EU's power base which is the Single Market. Italy will not leave the EU despite what Farage want you make to believe. Brexit did the opposit of what was Brexiteers thought it did it enforced Pro-EU opinion. And little disagreements e.g. regarding Corona, Rescue Packages or the 7 year budget showed that at the very core everyone wants to stay and improve and not remotly think about leaving. Nothing get ever better by leaving.

Japan has a strange affection to Germany or maybe just to the german language not sure.

Can you cover the new Vietnam-EU trade deal agreed 2 weeks ago?

Give it up Gary. I know your tricks. Now you pretend to be an EU citizen and wanting to give wrong impressions about Japan in the hopes to create misinformation and resentment between Japan and the EU. The funny thing is, if you really would know how EU Trade Deals work (or the EU for that matter) than you would know that the EU is very careful with such things and consider all angles. There is a reason why such deals take 5+ years normally and 7 in this case (Start 25 March 2013). So what you do here trying to misinform people, create division and resentment between EU and Japan. I'm wondering if I should make my warning to you real and actually make a call to MI5 to report you and your other 50+ Youtube accounts. I'm sure they would be interested in people like you making industry-level misinformation campaigning on social media with a special interest in UK and Brexit. This post here is harmless and easy to dismiss, but you post 24 hours per day on all kind of channels with different accounts. You should really be careful. I'm not the only person watching you. There are at least 2 other persons watching your accounts for at least 12 months or longer and they know even more than me. I'm already aware that the UK electoral commission is undertaking changes to their online watching procedures and I'm sure I also heared of extra personal tasked to look for people like you. You already proved that you can read at least one East-European language some days ago or even Russian Language with your other account (Don't bother to deleted it I know when I need to make a Screenshot). I'm sure they would be very interested to hear about that with the Russian Report around.

This is maybe one of the saddest parts of Brexit. Most of the time only negatives have been discussed and enforced by lies and missinformation. It was rarely spoken about the benefits.

The question is if UK at the end of the negotiations has a better deal than now still with EU's Japan Free Trade Deal. And I can't wait for a TLDR follow-up comparing the EU-Japan Trade Deal and the UK-Japan directly and showing us how benefitial being outside the EU really is. But let's wait for the UK deal to come to pass.
3
Why don't you drop the arrogance and learn Japanese? Learning at least one foreign language can be benefitial.

The EU have this special condition called "Anything but arms"-agreement only for the 50 poorest countries on the world to give them a chance to survive. It's much better than sending millions of state aid which ends up in warmongers pockets.

@noonecaresx5377 Thanks for proving my point. The reason why the EU actally having a Free Trade Deal with Japan is because both sides acknowledge that the other side is not using cheaty methods and all play on the same rules. Why do you think the EU insisting on the level playing field rules for their trade and product certification? And out of the same reason I gave there is NO trade deal with the US because they use those methods and are not willing to change that. P.S. You are terrible at sarcasm.

@willyhill7509 And you are free to have this opinion. But not by pretending to be an EU citizen while I know you strongly support Brexit and right-wing opinions normally so basically you impersonate someone else. Besides: This post here is harmless one comment in thousands. Your constant posting is more the issue. Spreading lies and misinformation. And multi-accounting with so many different accounts is sick as well sometimes I wonder if you have a mental condition. I have nothing against people saying what they think it's their right. But impersonation, multi-accounting and posting misinformation on your scale is not okay anymore.

@scifino1 I noticed you were not the initial commenter that's why.

Japan is not joining the EU or the Single Market it's just a trade deal. And they took 7 years and potential decades before that of consideration. I'm pretty sure than are serious about it. And the problem for Japan is, it needs to expand need new markets or better conditions. Japan is stagnating and ageing. This deal might give some new impulses without losing their idenitity and it allows them to keep jobs at home instead of building factories in other trade zones (the EU for example) to avoid tariffs.
2
Rubbish. The EU constantly have trade deals in the working. The most recent one is the one with Vietnam just 2 weeks ago. Than there is the 8th or 9th round of negotiations with Australia and the same with New Zealand. And I think some Africa and South-America is also on the menu. And who knows maybe with Biden in charge, a new attitude and some extreme adjustments, more alignment and regulation and concessions of the US the EU may put TTIP back on the table.
2
Or UK will find out that Japan find an 8 times larger and more stable market and more trustworthy trade partner more interesting and give UK a lesser or maybe even the same deal. If you ignored the immigrants for a minute and followed the news of today and yesterday you might have heared that the UK-Japan negotiations were ended because of Stilton cheese.

The potential increases in GDP for Japan and the EU were outlined in the video.

For that you can ask experts ... unless you don't like what you hear and call it fake news.
1
The differences would be more interesting because I noticed there are other trade blocks, but I noticed they look more like a perversion of the EU with one top country and all others are salves. But I'm willing to change my mind, so maybe TLDR can me help to change my mind. I'm especially interested in the rights of the weakest members and what they gain from it (or not).

Trade without this is exploitation. And people are cheated twice. People here get lower prices but lose their jobs because all work is done outside the country and people outside get all the pollution, the worker exploitation, the low wages and bad living conditions deriving from that. We had that for 50 years, no thanks. Time for something new. And the EU is a role model for that.
1
Wrong. It depends on which side you sit. If you are in the protection can't be high enough.

@carlosandleon Fair enough.

J Mansfield Rubbish. There are no plans for it. All lies to deceive you into Brexit. And the most funny thing is: If the UK stayed in the EU it could have single-handedly crush the plans with UK's 4 ways of Veto something. Now however it's even more likely because now only 27 countries need to agree.
1
I have a suggestion to you: Why don't you just make one account or choose one and stick to it across Youtube without pretense and with an honest opinion whatever it is. I'd love to discuss and argue with you on even terms but not with a pretender and someone lying to himself and others. I can respect someone with a different opinion but not someone acting like you or playing hide and seek with your alias accounts.
1
Yes it is and it's not a problem if you are one of the 500 mio living in it or if you have a good trade deal with them. It creates stability, saves jobs, secures human and worker rights, raises living standard for all it's members over time, improve products standards and quality, protects the environment. And it constantly does everything to enlarge the Single Market by infrastructure, housing and education projects and it's real growth not the fake one by exploiting people from another country.
1
@MrWalker1000 True. But it doesn't matter the wages are also higher. The level playing field ensures the money stays in the Single Market or within trade partners adhereing to the same rules. Problems only occurs when money is sucked out of the market by cheap and substandard outside trade.
1
@MrWalker1000 EU only imports goods with CE standard (the real European not the fake china one). But you are right China is an issue as the EU is currently finding out ... same as the US and everybody else actually.

I'm not sure the UK numbers are still in there. The agreement is 15 months or or so active well after invoking §50 and 2 months before the leave date. But I can tell you that the trade volume between UK and Japan last year was 17 bn £. (Source ONS) For comparison: Switzerland 39 bn, EU 772 bn all in 2019.
1
Contrary to what rainbow press may have said there are not as many and stupid regulations as they want people to believe. I even wonder now, if 40 years of bombardment of such ridicules lies unchallenged lead to Brexit in the end.
1
@Mtaalas Than I apologize to you. At first it seemed like you were one of those single-language biggots just wanting the world to speak his language.
1
I doubt the UK is included. The Japan-EU trade come into effect Feb-1 last year one month before the planned exit of the UK. And since then the UK actually left. Besides there is no UK-Japan deal. Truss screwed it up yesterday postphoned for the time being because of cheese.
1
@aib0160 UK-Japan Trade in Goods 2019: 17 bn £ (Source ONS) For comparison: EU-UK Trade 2019: 772 bn £ Not really a burner. And ONS estimated this new trade deal brings only 0.x% GDP.
1
Maybe the fact that it's on the opposit side of the planet has something to do with it. And that's it's rather new it take a while before investors and bussiness owner re-arrange everything. And it's barely active for a year (Feb-1 2019)
