(The Commonwealth countries are individual, it is not a trading entity!!)

Your comment equally foolish.

Apart from other values, trade between the countries projected to be worth $1 trillion by 2020.
In this report, Import and Export,
Commonwealth countries traded around US$4 trillion worth of goods in 2008, according to a study commissioned by the Royal Commonwealth Society

1)My reply would be that remnant would be the wrong word in that example.
2)So a drop of US$3T in trade per year over a 12 year period will have happened it appears. And that's without factoring inflation, which would have increased the price/value of goods each year.

2) As the poster above pointed out trade between UK and Commonwealth changed when UK joined EEC/EU.
(Commonwealth membership is not just about trade.)

Quite so, and they are keen, to trade with the EU. Which was kind of my point, there won't be a great reservoir of nostalgic goodwill for 'Global Britain' to draw upon.

We are discussing trade value between 2008 and 2020. What does joining the EEC in 1973 have to do with it?

You are discussing trade between 2008 and 2020, I was just putting a link about next year's summit and answering the above poster about Australia and new Zealand.

Unofficial talks going on with India since the referendum result known, although as mentioned in above posts EU is now trying to rekindle the failed deal negotiations with them.

Re: OT: How to QUOTE another person's post correctly!
Ok, sometimes you want to quote more than one post and/or poster at a time, which can be very useful for you and the other readers to get a clearer picture of the discussion within one post. This is particularly helpful when a thread is several pages long and/or has lots of tangents.

If the EU gets a deal with India before the UK does, the UK deal will be less attract to parts of India, but by then, the UK will be desperate to get any India deal they can.
