Can't see UK changing its mind and placing a tariff on lamb imported from New Zealand in event of no deal.

(NZ has EU country-specific tariff-rate quota; allows 228,389 tn of NZ sheep& goat meat to be exported to EU tariff free annually. Post-Brexit EU/UK splitting quota 50/50)
Especially when you consider that the UK is actively trying to line up a free trade agreement with New Zealand.
But interesting that the British farming lobby is starting to make more noise. Having outsourced their protesting to the French for the last few decades, still an open question as to their influence over UK trade policy.

New piece by me for @CER_EU examining what an EU border carbon tax proposal will probably look like, and asking whether it is a good idea or not.

I argue that, on balance, it is worth a go.

@CER_EU I realise that lots of people disagree with me on this, so interested in hearing other points of view.
@CER_EU Some good points by @TomWlost in response to my piece on EU border carbon tax:

Quite a useful flow chart laying out steps a business needs to take if they intend to export meat or dairy to the EU after no deal.

1 - Yes, we want to grow it! #UK #Automotive exports £1 billion engines to Turkey, twice as much as the entire North-American region and second only to the EU. British engines are assembled into passenger cars and CVs exported from Turkey to the UK and other European countries.
2 - In 2018, we imported more than 175,000 finished vehicles from Turkey, mainly cars and vans. In 2008, we were importing just over 65,000. Turkey ranked 5^ among the biggest export markets for UK cars.
3 - High level of integration was fuelled by favourable trading conditions of the EU-Turkey customs union. This agreement allows all industrial goods to be traded tariff-free, regardless of their origin, once in free circulation in the EU-Turkey customs area.

Amid reports that #UK PM @theresa_may hopes to renegotiate the "backstop" provision on the Northern Ireland border, let's recall that she already made clear what she wants in her letter to #EU leaders before disastrously losing the #Brexit Withdrawal Treaty ratification vote. 1/
"This could be mitigated by changes to the backstop itself," she wrote to @eucopresident & @JunckerEU "Proposals for a way in which the UK could choose to exit the backstop unilaterally were it ever to come into force, or for a hard time limit... 2/
on the duration of the usage of the backstop, have been raised and discussed in Parliament. We have also raised them previously in negotiations." So there are her proposals, i.e. the EU should basically just cave on backstop in face of House of Commons defeat. But but but ... 3/

New #QAnon 1318.

Think LOGICALLY.
Mass exodus in DC?
Mass exodus- corporate CEOs?
Why?
Who has the POWER?
Who has the CONTROL?
If POTUS was NOT IN CONTROL would they be retreating?

#Q #MAGA #GreatAwakening #Trump #POTUS #WeThePeople #WWG1WGA #MondayMotivation @realDonaldTrump
When #Q asks, "Mass exodus in DC?" he is referring to the unprecedented number of representatives who will not be seeking reelection. As of 4/27/18 that number is up to 53, based on this report.
