It's like Turkeys having voted for Christmas though. Sunderland has a huge workforce in car manufacturing which will be badly hit, yet they voted overwhelmingly for Brexit. Perhaps the North East doesn't know what happens when the industry disappears?

Nissan has not moved. Unlike the Ford Transit plant in Southampton - which was well before any EU vote was on the cards.

in Lancashire

They are just playing the 'show you want to keep us game' for what may happen, they or their advisors know as much as anyone at the moment which is not a lot..

could be they are looking at reducing their cost's and something like this is a precursor to the workforce being cut back, reduction in hours or salaries etc..

yes they will go where their overheads are lowest, will they be given the carrot from a country remaining in the EU though to make it worth their while..

who knows what the situation will be in 6 months or a year or so time..

Quite simple. If the EU imposes trade tariffs, so do we.

It won't happen.

Unless they want to encourage us to produce our own Brie and BMWs.

That's not how it works, under WTO rules they will either have to charge us tariffs, or get rid of all tariffs that they have with every non-EU county in the world.

are you really that stupid to think they will? Do we export more to or import more from the EU. And if other countries moan they too will get tariff free trade. These tariffs are outdated and a thing of the past, the whole world will soon be a free trade area, get with it

Yes, once we have a free trade agreement it will be different, but until then, WTO rules, especially if we want a WTO seat. The FTA with Canada took 7 years to negotiate and its expected to take 2 years to ratify. So if we take the same amount of time (realistically we'll take longer because we don't have more than 20 negotiators) that's 9 years of tariffs.

Just naming another country isn't proof that the UK wont have to pay tariffs as you have named a country with a free trade agreement with the EU. Can you name any country without a FTA that pays no tariffs?

We can negotiate a free trade agreement. But we can't start negotiating until after we have left, then it will take several years for it to be negotiated, ratified and implemented. In the meantime its WTO rules and tariffs.

Do you really think that informal talks are not underway? It is the biggest issue that the EU (and our country) has faced for a long time. Human nature dictates that a little talking may just have happened a teensy bit.

There are always informal talks before formal talks, but the government hasn't even set out what it wants from article 50 yet, let alone a trade deal that will begin formal negotiations only after we have left.

So as I said, there will be tariffs under WTO rules after we leave the EU, before we negotiate any other trade deal.

This comes from the EU's own website -

As tariffs are relatively low in world trade today the EU aims to conclude Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreements (DCFTA) with other nations. If the EU was to complete all its current free trade talks tomorrow it would add 2.2% to the EU GDP or €275billion.

It seems they now realise that this is the way forward and not protectionism, so can anyone say why they would not do free trade deals with the Uk? Other than out of spite or stupidity of course

"Looks like the predictions were right about exiting the EU now...with two of the major car manufactures coming out and holding back investment in the plants....i bet there's some of the EU countries rubbing there hands in glee lol

what, like you?

No tbh...im quite sad at the thought of these things happening...i saw the heartache when the coalmines were shut...and steelworks were sold off etc etc

This is nothing to do with the EU and Brexit it is simply different manufacturers competing with eachother to try and get 'deals'

What dont you get...turn on Sky news and watch....this is happening...Nissan HAVE suspended all investment in the plant until the outcome is know....they look like now the new model of the car will be built elsewhere....Land Rover have said the same thing...BMW in Oxford have also said similar things...they all want compensating if and i say if...which is likey the EU imposes import tariffs

Quite simple. If the EU imposes trade tariffs, so do we.

It won't happen.

Unless they want to encourage us to produce our own Brie and BMWs.

That's not how it works, under WTO rules they will either have to charge us tariffs, or get rid of all tariffs that they have with every non-EU county in the world.

Not if a trade agreement was made.

Yes, once we have a free trade agreement it will be different, but until then, WTO rules, especially if we want a WTO seat. The FTA with Canada took 7 years to negotiate and its expected to take 2 years to ratify. So if we take the same amount of time (realistically we'll take longer because we don't have more than 20 negotiators) that's 9 years of tariffs.

Just naming another country isn't proof that the UK wont have to pay tariffs as you have named a country with a free trade agreement with the EU. Can you name any country without a FTA that pays no tariffs?

The last I heard was that the government had employed 120+ negotiators. And I am sure it is happening now.

What makes you think that we cannot negotiate a free trade agreement?

We can negotiate a free trade agreement. But we can't start negotiating until after we have left, then it will take several years for it to be negotiated, ratified and implemented. In the meantime its WTO rules and tariffs.

It depends what you do. If you work in ship building, your job will probably move to South Korea or elsewhere in the world. If you work in steel, you job would be decimated by the flood of cheap, import free steel from China. If you work in farming or food manufacturing, once we leave the EU, people wont have to keep to the same EU standards so you will get much cheaper products flooding our market, affecting our farmers. Free trade with NZ for example is going to be devastating to British sheep farming. If you work in manufacturing, your job is probably going to go to China.

But it's not all bad news, if you work in banking or insurance you will probably benefit from the new markets.

So there will be winners and losers.

like I said, they are just trying to be the first in to get deals or compensation, its nonsense. And the important word is 'if'. There will not be tariffs"

exactly, this is a nonsense scaremongering thread all "if's" and "it could" comments, similar to the run up to the referendum, all pathetic scare stories from the remain camp the ones with no bottle.

what if,

they could,

"Whats the situation with Audi, BMW and VW? Anyone heard?

They are saying "no special deals for Britain" all the Brexit talk about Germany won't let anything happen to us because of car sales is rubbish."

No they haven't. As yet they haven't said a word.

The only mention of this that I have seen is from Martin Schulz and he will probably be out of his job in January. Also Martin Kerber is the head of the BDI (like UK CBI) and although he does carry some clout he does not speak directly for any German business.

As for the other doom mongers they have more back tracks than the bloody ramblers association.

The OECD. ONS. IMF (among others). And even bloody George Osbourne are almost fighting each other as to who can back track the quickest.

Meanwhile in the rest of the EU.

Germany and the Czech republic are advising people to keep at least five days food in reserve.

Deutsche bank is on the brink of collapse as is the whole Italian banking system. The French economy is stagnant (at best) and the Greek tragedy hasn't gone away, it's only sleeping for a while.

Brexit and a few lost jobs will be a walk in the park compared to the whirlwind that is going to hit this side of the channel. VERY SOON.

No they haven't. As yet they haven't said a word.

The only mention of this that I have seen is from Martin Schulz and he will probably be out of his job in January. Also Martin Kerber is the head of the BDI (like UK CBI) and although he does carry some clout he does not speak directly for any German business.

As for the other doom mongers they have more back tracks than the bloody ramblers association.

The OECD. ONS. IMF (among others). And even bloody George Osbourne are almost fighting each other as to who can back track the quickest.

Meanwhile in the rest of the EU.

Germany and the Czech republic are advising people to keep at least five days food in reserve.

Deutsche bank is on the brink of collapse as is the whole Italian banking system. The French economy is stagnant (at best) and the Greek tragedy hasn't gone away, it's only sleeping for a while.

Brexit and a few lost jobs will be a walk in the park compared to the whirlwind that is going to hit this side of the channel. VERY SOON.

Remember you heard it here first.

So you were tuned into Radio Scotland yesterday aswell as they had same debate, perhaps, many heard it there first

No sorry being in Germany I missed that. However I did post similar on another thread a few days ago so I think I'm still in front. "

I can substantiate this...as I read it.

Refreshing to hear someone who lives in mainland EU talking sense.

Latest quarterly a GDP figures for UK show a 0.7% rise ...post brexit! [nit saying x4 to get annual but probably close].

It's higher by far than any country in the rest of the EU. Most of which are stagnant at best and many in recession. Figures for inward investment have also risen...despite predictions from all the "experts" that predicted it falling off a cliff.

It seems that many business leaders are not doing what the "experts" expected.

Maybe those who actually do the business, rather than studied it at college to become an "expert", haven't read the same books?

"So no one is able to provide any proof at all that tariffs won't be introduced?

For exactly the same reason you can't provide any proof that they will.

Because nothing has been negotiated yet.

I can't give you proof that there is life on Mars. and you can't give me proof that there isn't. We just haven't found any."

I provided you proof already, a video of the EU trade commissioner explaining it to you. So as our old friend used to say, back of the net!

That is proof of nothing. It's just one commissioner giving an opinion before negotiations have even started.

A lot bigger voices will have a lot of input before anything is decided.

There is no "proof" of anything, either way.

Huh? Oh well go on then I'll bite.

Let's talk about naivety.

I think the naive person is the one who thinks that politicians always tell the truth and don't drop soundbites into an issue before negotiations start to give them that little bit more leverage when they do.

Ever heard of jockeying for position?

It goes like this. Before the start of a National Hunt race the jockeys will walk their horses around just behind the tape so that when it goes up they are facing forward and moving rather than going from a standing start. It gives them a little bit of an advantage before the race actually begins.

Or at a yacht regatta where the boats again try to get themselves in the right place just before the starting gun.

All this bullshit you seem to want to call proof is exactly the same thing. Politicians trying to get a hard line point in early to try to give themselves a bit of an edge when negotiations actually start.

It's a bit like the old union barons in the 70's. They would walk into a meeting demanding this, that, and the other, but in the end came out with some form of compromise.

It's called (among other things) political posturing.

The naive one is the one that sees the above and then chucks out idiotic words like "proof"

What "UK" car manufacturers would they be then.

Peugeot? French.

Mini? German.

Rolls Royce? German

Jaguar Land Rover? Indian

Honda and Nissan? Japanese.

As for fantasy? I think you will find that the only real fantasists are the remainers who want to paint a black fantasy where everything is doom and gloom.

I'm quite sure that some of it will be a bit painful but if handled correctly I'm sure Britain will come out the other side in a lot better condition than some of the remaining EU countries. If the EU in its current form even still exists in five years time.

As I've said in earlier posts, there is some serious shit getting very close to the EU fan and being detached or semi detached will be a much more comfortable place to be in the next few years.

Agreed the remainers only talk about the bad things that MIGHT happen, as you say the EU could be a different place in 2 years. A lot of other EU countries are now looking at immigration too. The next 12 months could decide the fate of the EU with two of its biggest countries having elections France & Germany.

What has the ownership of a company got to do with where they manufacture their cars?

Nissan have explicitly stated that future investment in the Sunderland plant is being put on hold until and unless continued access to the single market is confirmed or the UK Govt confirms that it will provide subsidies in light of potential future tariffs. Ironically, Nissan did warn about this in the run up to the EU Referendum and it was dismissed as scaremongering and the city voted Brexit.

"Looks like the predictions were right about exiting the EU now...with two of the major car manufactures coming out and holding back investment in the plants....i bet there's some of the EU countries rubbing there hands in glee lol

It's like Turkeys having voted for Christmas though. Sunderland has a huge workforce in car manufacturing which will be badly hit, yet they voted overwhelmingly for Brexit. Perhaps the North East doesn't know what happens when the industry disappears?

I actually remember when they built that plant...it was done with EU money...and it was a toss up basically between there and Sth Humberside at the time....but your right...they were feed bullshit by the brexiters and believed it....oh well sometimes YOU get what you wish for...im sure some of the smaller countries in the EU will welcome these companies with open arms lol

We,ll see they hav,nt moved yet. "

And we haven't even begun the process to leave yet. Bur carry on living in la-la land while those of us who actually care about our country try to make the best of the situation you BREXIT sell outs have landed us all in.

Watch this space and I mean Germany for the next year or two. I think it's not long off when the Remainers will be thanking the Brexiters for helping them dodge a bullet.

Mark my words. Serious shit is coming and as I've said before Brexit will be nothing more than a sideshow to the main event.

The thing that will save Nissan in Sunderland is that half of the cars that are made there are sold domestically... so where it would not make sense to ditch the factory, it also would not make sense to expand it either, which was the original plan.

Whether BMW for example will feel the same about the factory in oxford where 80% of the cars there are shipped abroad is a different matter
