Second, one of the major stumbling stones in the negotiation between India and the EU is the opening of the Indian market for banking and insurances services. I assume that is a major UK interest. India doesn't want this. I am sure India won't change its mind about that unless the UK pays a heavy price. We will see how far the negotiations will go once India says what it really wants behind closed doors. So maybe once the UK is gone it will be India and the EU that will finally be able to sign a free trade agreement? The trade figures with Belgium do not include services/investment. You are wrong about insurance services, the Indian market has been open for this for some time. This year India has relaxed its rules regarding direct foreign investment. I have put links regarding this. Regarding the deal with the EU negotiations have now been going on for nine years--they will continue! |
re: Post EU Referendum
It is interesting to watch how the rationales ondulate wildly depending on the argument. It doesn't seem to matter why, or what the consequences are. And we reserve the right to simply make up any justification we want (not that it matters anyway). The majority voted. It's a democracy. Now shut up and do what we tell you, you lemmings.

I'd have thought that's quite obvious but as it's not; Merkel appears to be rapidly losing popularity which may well mean a change & possibly a radical change of Government in Germany which in turn may well affect the Brexit negotiations.......... and will possibly/probably even increase the chances of a Dexit referendum & if that happens & their referendum votes out, the shit really will hit the EU fan which in turn will also further affect the Brexit negotiations.

It is not a "magic wand" but will be an important agreement, of course at this stage negotiations are not made public. The trade figures with Belgium do not include services/investment.

I have put links regarding this. Regarding the deal with the EU negotiations have now been going on for nine years--they will continue! To bring jobs back to the UK. How would you feel if thousands lost their jobs in India if the call and support centres returned to the UK ? You do a very good job promoting India but our priority is the UK not investment in India, not more jobs transferred to India . When India finally reduces its tarrifs on EU exports agreement will be reached. |

But of course, time will tell. One of the states where Merkels party lost seats was in the old east Germany. It has one of the highest levels of unemployment and deprivation. It also only has an immigrant population of under 4%. Germany is run by coalitions not by one party. Your fantastical idea of Dexit ranks alongside the brexit pre vote claims regarding immigration, Turkish membership and NHS funding all of which were headlines in your daily comic. We knew then they were total crap and as events have proved are still total crap. |

Whenever a remainer mentions - even in passing - scenarios in which they may be adversely affected, they're accused of being greedy and selfish. By contrast, there's quite a theory passing around Leavers at the moment which says that they voted to go selflessly and despite the fact that they know they personally will lose out but that they did so for the good of their country. I guess it had to come out eventually. Like the one about the NHS. Yet I have been accused time and time of being unpatriotic and only thinking of myself by wishing it had been different. |

You do a very good job promoting India but our priority is the UK not investment in India, not more jobs transferred to India . When India finally reduces its tarrifs on EU exports agreement will be reached. Thousands of jobs in the UK have already been created by previous and ongoing investment and deals. Why should not this increase? Trade deals are a two-way thing, it is not a promotion of one or the other. |

As I remember it was more or less in her own backyard but where it was in Germany is irrelevant....... As is your scorn for the possibilities of a Dexit happening at some point.
MERKEL'S WORST NIGHTMARE: Germany calls for Referendum as 'people want to be free of EU' | World | News | Daily Express Plenty of other sources reporting similar stories if you don't like this particular one. Just one more thing: Nobody in Germany blames the EU for the migration crisis. Germans blame Merkel and the German government for opening the border. That is where the blame belongs. It was a decision of Merkel, not Juncker. It was a German mistake, not one of the EU. Germans actually are blaming the right person for the right issue not blindly believing that all the bad comes form foreigners. That is what the Nazis did (Jews, gypsies, the Americans are to blame for weak Germany yadayadayada),....I am not going down that shitty road with the British. So, Goodbye, Auf Wiedersehen, you are on your road alone. |

"Ivan Rogers has reportedly issued a warning to his fellow EU ambassadors that Britain will be opening trade negotiations while releasing itself from the crumbling union as the UK readies itself for Brexit life. During a meeting this week, Rogers told diplomats the trade department, spearheaded by Liam Fox, has already begun talks with numerous countries willing to strike a deal with Britain" |
