[Doctor Gollum]

Indeed, the type approvals process works both ways. And I will wager that JLR, for example, has absolutely no problem meeting the requirements of California and Dubai...

Might be political reasons of course.

Ooh, a cynic

Well , they've been overtly unethical , unreasonable and downright imperious so far so expect them to go into overdrive once we leave ....

At the next GE, we should see 649 new MPs.

It appears the Dickensian undertaker has lost his bottle and will fall into line behind the May deal....

Apparently he has said " the deal is extremely poor but half a loaf is better than no bread"


Whatever happened to the " cake and eat it brexit? "

Cowardly, self serving, unimaginative clunges to the last

We may well be able to meet the limits (and do, in fact generally in a more honest and factual way than all our German counterparts) but......to approve costs multi millions per module and car line plus 12 months of testing.....on many territories......as I have said before, those who voted out have no idea..... 

[Doctor Gollum]

But if they already do it, which clearly they do and in anticipation of future legislation, what's the problem

If their only market was the EU, you might have a point...

I think your missing the point, as an example if you want to ship and sell into South Korea and have EU approvals and are a member state (so under EU law), you can sell without getting additional testing to local regs, if you are not a member state, you need now to re-approve against local regs.

Passing the regs is low risk, spending 7 figure sums and taking a sales hit for 12 months is a big issue.....then you add in all the other countries where the same applies....

Surely a common sense approach would suggest that if a product meets xyz specs and can easily be demonstrated to do so, then it should be just as acceptable for import as the 'EU' product

A concerted approach by Government and business leaders could have seen a global standard introduced that everyone could work to. After all, we are but a piece of a global economy, whether we like it or not.

Were we not once the measure that everything else stood against?

We were, until we sold everything to foreigners.

Yes DG; remember "bog standard" - British or German Standard?

Ron.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I imagine Ron is old enough to remember the gold standard.....

[Bigron]

No, I am not and do not: you obviously are as you do remember it - what is it?
