Facts please. Not news bulletins unless they identify official EU spokespersons by name . See my previous posts . I have been very clear on this. I see this as important and would be Very annoyed if in fact the EU had threatened the NI Protocol. But Evidence please .. not talking heads all...

Rather than innuendo, and supposition, I prefer facts . How sure are you that any EU leadership did anything? Again a news report UNLESS it names EU officials doe not count.

The story is real, but was it true.?. If the EU had sought to break the protocol, it is at least feasible they would have discussed it with the Irish Foreign Minister and or Taoiseach.. neither of which occurred. They have not acknowledged anything about a U turn,in anything , I have seen, ...

If indeed it was even true in the first place!.

As I tried to find out .. I think it was someone adding inferences on supposition and creating conspiracy. The official EU communique makes no reference. And finally in a clarification yesterday evening ..in a briefing note to Simon Coveney , the EU says the NI Protocol was not affected.

Zlatan... I cannot find any EU official statement that they were planning on implementing this , . There was no logic behind it in any event. All the statements I find are from newspaper sites and making reference to talking heads and political leaders in the UK and Ireland saying it is a...

As in what difference would it make? When all the stocks were decanted into the UK?. My understanding is that in its rush to start their program the UK bypassed the risk and loaded it onto the UK taxpayer. The EU by requiring EMA validation did not . I am not suggesting that the UK position was...

Every country , including everyone in the EU, has the equivalent of an Emergency Powers Act and can invoke it at a moment's notice . That means that they can stop any and every transaction, imprison people etc etc Now there are repercussions of course, and plenty of teeth gnashing and hand...

Yes . I do also understand the principle of short selling. But how sure which of the two scams this one is?.

Methinks this is all a scam. Say you have an ailing company in which you have excess shares and you start pumping up the share price, the lemmings rush on board and the shares explode in value. You then drop your stock, the lemmings still buy them, you have cashed out, and then the...

OK.. Anything to give my head peace . The formal sundering took place on the date you specified.

When a marriage breaks up do you count the day that the decree nisi is published in the court gazette or the day when the woman left on separation, closed the bank account and went into the battered wives home?.

It seems to me that it is the practice of selling and buying shares one does not have ..ie the futures market or derivatives which should be banned. Perhaps making the period Before settling accounts say 6 hours , would stop a lot of this selling short.

Zombies can be considered as being around, even where they serve no value. The point was that the UK had no executive function in the EU basically ever since the dissolution of the previous European Parliament, and probably before. The UK Commission members were sidelined ever since the...

The German distributor of widgets has a market of 500 million customers in 27 countries where he just puts the thing in a jiffy bag, charges VAT, pays postage and Bobs your uncle. Then he has this oddball country, where he has to fill up some customs forms, and then subtract the VAT , which...

Sometimes I do dispair. Please do try and get your facts straight. The UK was in the departure lounge from about February 2019 , .They had used up the last of their credit. What was being discussed was whether they would get a seat on the second class carriage or stand in steerage. They...

Any EU country selling to any other EU country as private sales etc is required to charge VAT. Now selling into the UK they do not need to charge this VAT , but they have a lot of different paperwork to fill up .. which frankly is not worth their bother. Some companies , dealing with luxury...

No. You have your dates wrong. The UK had left in 2019. The period afterwards until this January was a transition phase , where we mutually agreed not to charge each other import duties , and for which the UK paid a temporary guest pass fee.

I think it works this way. It is not VAT, it is import and export duties The duty is charged on the value of work done and parts inserted Not the intrinsic value of the machine. It would be viewed as being nett zero. Import duty was paid on initial importation and a refund due on export ...

Meanwhile the UK are enjoying the advantages of the Biontech Pfizer vaccine developed using EU money ( European Investment Bank) originally given in December 2019 to BioNtech for a cancer treatment and immediately repurposed and then augmented long before any extra money was given to the...
