why would food standards also stop the free trade of US manufacturing products like cars and trucks and their components.Becuase as I’ve tried to explain to those who post about how “the nasty British government would sell out to the US and the lovely cuderly wuderly EU look after our interests even though they have been negotiating a similar deal”
the US agriculture industry, we’re talking about huge multi nationals here, not a few good ol’ boys on thier John Deeres and the US based global food multi nationals have lobbied hard in the TTIP negotiations and have plenty of US politicians in their pockets, so they won’t accept any deal that doesn’t include agriculture and food.
For the EU and no doubt the UK the pay off for allowing this would have been far easier access for the financial services sector into the US markets and we all know what influence they have over our goverments?Let’s get this right we unilaterally remove all EU type approval and duty requirements from US manufacturing exports like cars and trucks and components and we’ll also be happy to accept US agricultural exports so long as they comply with UK food standards and they’ll say no thanks.On that note how difficult can it be to say no growth enhancements used in UK market bound beef just like RHD for UK bound cars and trucks.
So we get rid of barriers imposed by the EU on US imports and put up our own non-tariff barriers on their products and you think that the mighty US food and agriculture lobby would accept having to set-up a separate system of checks, with the associated costs just to win exports to the UK and our government would insist on it when for them the prize if far easier access to the US fincial services market for their friends in The City.
