Re: Brexit kills Italy exports to UK
I dont understand why the food exports from Italy have bureaucratic delays. Is that the fault of Italy, France or UK?

Re: Brexit kills Italy exports to UK
I suspect a lot of it is teething problems caused by the UK (mostly). With some items having VAT and charges i think now being levied in the UK and also transport people just saying it is not worth the hassle. The cost of the latter I've heard has went through the roof. I suspect it will take "years" to settle and not just "months". A bit of a shame as we've found some great delivery stores here in the UK selling great Italian food stuff.

Daniel Kelermen is making an interesting record of all things Brexit going wrong.

About the extra cost of Prosecco and Grana Padano, ask Mr Farage for a refund.

Re: Brexit kills Italy exports to UK
I'm not surprised, unfortunately. Mind you the article starts off suggesting that the North End Road market price rises for items such as Egyptian avocados and English apples have gone up in price because of Brexit - which is obviously rubbish; it's because the market stall holders see a good excuse to jack up prices. As I believe some Italian were doing when the Euro came to replace the Lira.
