It is the trade deal he is worried about .
He knows the EU sales more cars to the UK sales to the EU. Drive anywhere in the UK and count the cars that come in from the EU our streets are full of them. Do the same in any EU country count how many cars you see made in the UK that are left hand are left hand drives you will find the ones you see are top of the range cars most of us can't afford. We are leaving the EU and people like this are trying to keep us still under their thumb. |

There is no reason to pay the EU one Euro for access to their market. They should pay then UK as they sell us far more than we sell them. No other country in the world pays money in order to sell into another countries free market.

Customs checks and declarations, certificates of origin, exceptions to the products and services covered by the deal.

many thanks - interesting, however on reading the comments underneath multiple votes were allowed and it was promoted on facebook to all and sundry ie not necessarily residents from Sunderland?

Looks like the German automotive industry has realised they're about to lose a lot of money. All the talk from some swivel eyed remainers about still buying their audis, bmws and vws, isn't ho to save them.
If the EU are so scared of the fallout from us leaving, then perhaps it's time they put in place a plan to keep trade and services flowing. Maybe they will have more luck selling instead to the Greeks and Slovaks? We have a massive trade deficit with the EU - which might pose more issues for them if they decide not to agree some sort of trade deal. |

Germany's three largest export markets for its cars are the UK, the US and China. Oddly two are of these aren't EU members and the third soon won't be.

Except it's not "them", is it, it's 27 other countries, most of whom we have a trade surplus with I believe.
Also all 27 countries have to individually agree the Brexit deal - I doubt Greece or Cyprus has any interest in how many BMWs are sold in the UK. |

Its amazing how many Brexiteers struggle to understand that its not the chairman of BMW who will be negotiating with David Davis and Liam Fox.

Maybe not directly but every Chairman of every company that may lose out will be giving the government's grief over what they may lose just has top business people here are doing . |

The people of Sunderland would be hit hard by tariffs and non-tariffs on 57 percent of their exports. No wonder a recent poll carried by a local newspaper there shows massive swings towards Remaining in the EU. They no longer appear to believe that massive taxpayer subsidies are for ever ! The solution is clear - an arrangement with the EU such as that which Iceland, Switzerland and Norway have (as supported by the Adam Smith Institute). |

Matthias Wissmann is only echoing what other business and financial leaders have said albeit more explicitly. He's quite plainly said that Hard Brexit = Loss of businesses + Job losses so that even the most intellectually challenged Leave supporter can comprehend that a hard Brexit will come with severe economic costs attached.
The solution is clear - an arrangement with the EU such as that which Iceland, Switzerland and Norway have (as supported by the Adam Smith Institute). http://openeurope.org.uk/intelligenc...d-switzerland/ |
