Brexit: How do you negotiate a trade agreement?

Most trade experts believe whatever happens this year, negotiations will have to continue for some time to come."So it's services, industrial regulations, food safety, chemicals and so on. It's quite straightforward to cut tariffs to zero; it's all the other stuff that takes time."The temptation must be to push things through behind the scenes but recent history suggests too much secrecy in trade negotiations can prompt a hostile reaction.

"There was a huge backlash," says Bernardine Adkins, head of EU trade law at the solicitors Gowling WLG. And lessons learned then about transparency should be taken on board now."You may need to keep some of the details secret," she says,"but you need to keep touching base with all your stakeholders - not only with business but with consumers and trades unions as well.

By comparison, the US has already held public consultations about a possible trade deal with the UK and the EU has published the detailed text of its draft negotiating mandate. "We've never done anything like this before," Mr Winters says."In a sense it's very exciting and along with excitement goes a degree of terror.

Easy do you want to fish our waters?

IF BBC radio or tv station’s is truly independent their reporting should reflect in all their programs and not to be influenced by the government of the day as practice in the third world

We [will] recover our political and economic independence in FOOL.

Ask President Trump

BBCPolitics We have zero tarrifs already so it should be correctly be called an Untrade Agreement.

BBCPolitics You've got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away, and know when to run. You never count your money when you're sittin at the table.... there'll be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

BBCPolitics Not by surrendering 🤔

Not like that

BBCPolitics Think they should have worked out a strategy by now.

Ummm ... you ask them to let you back in.

Understanding the ‘WHY’ each wants an agreement is key. EU needs UK trade but want control over UK future deals to stop competition. UK wants current EU trade but absolutely needs world trade for growth opportunities. So based on ‘need’ & ‘want’ comprise points are identified.

BBCPolitics where there's a will there's a way!

Be prepared to walk away..

we don't we haven't the proper credentials

You leave the EU and then 1 second later countries are banging on your door asking for a trade deal, EASY ....right.

BBCPolitics Why haven’t you been reporting the yellow vest protests in France? I pay my bastard license fee so I expect you to report it

BBCPolitics Firstly you don't involve Prime Minister Cummings' Deputy BorisJohnson. Even his Propaganda Secretary bbclaurak put this 👇 out as BoJo 'left' Foreign Office!

All of our trade gurus have spoken very instructively, and it is left for individuals to make meanings out of this trade negotiation plus obvious palavers anticipated by the experts. One can only look forward to seeing how episodically bad and good the whole of the talks pan out.

BBCPolitics You put yourself in a position where the other side knows you desperately need a deal, then turn around, pull down your trousers, bend over, and wait.

night You start by KNOWING you are stronger than anyone you meet, LOOK em straight in the eyes, and speak in positive terms, never in MAYBE, Never ask or request just say what you want and will do. then shut up!

BBCPolitics I would imagine one negotiator says 'shall we trade with each other without charging any tariffs?' And the other days 'yeah, ok then'

BBCPolitics Chris Morris . Based on the job title - Reality Check Correspondent - I'm assuming this is Chris Morris from Brass Eye? Once you start reading this in the the 'Brass Eye' tone of voice it all starts to make sense.

BBCPolitics

BBCPolitics Called corruption as always with toffs.

BBCPolitics The remainer way is to announce before you negotiate that the EU position is better than the UK one.

BBCPolitics Ask the 52% that voted for it.

night With great difficulty as it was a stupid action the UK has taken and will regret no matter what the PM et al tell us.

night Don’t worry Britain’s got this ! 🤦🏻‍♂️

You certainly DO NOT listen to FakeNews for advice! You leave it to negotiators.

My commercial experience taught me that you should always be looking for the win/win solution if you want an ongoing relationship. No future in the win/lose as the loser is always looking to get back at the winner.

Send a letter Before we begin we will not.... Please reply by..... As if you disagree with this then we believe there is no point in negotiating any other agreement, and we will go forward as an independent country with making arrangements to implement anyway

By acting in good faith and not putting a deadline in place so you can’t extend talks. Most importantly putting country before party, sadly that won’t happen as we have the Tories in power.

Walk away. They don't want to trear us as an independent state equivalent to any other independent country. Just walk away. They'll suffer more without our money.

You employ the best and experienced trade negotiators who have done the job before, not some wank weasel Politician 👍

Well you shouldn't have to because one was In place and was great but everyone fucked it up because they believed news Corp

Definitely the right time for this question, not even remotely late.

Plenty of cake should be involved.... 🤔🤔

Probably not by having the political opposition make our strongest negotiation tactic illegal

Very strategically?

Firstly find a trade partner who doesn't want to punish you for leaving.

1) Refuse to bow to EU bad faith. 2) Ensure the repulsive BBC is not free to lie and distort on the EU's behalf as usual. 3) Never agree to quasi-Brexit terms that leave us still subject in ANY way to Brussels diktat and ECJ jurisdiction 4) Prioritise talks with REAL allies

The BBC told me Brexit was done?

... How do you negotiate a trade agreement? Do exactly opposite of what the Trumps and Kushner do, when trying to negotiate a trade agreement. ...

Well, the BBC's beloved EU negotiaters simply make demand after demand and add a 'the UK must' or three into the mix. Not sure it's working though 😕

Walk away .... their knuckles will wear down more than our front door will

HMG may not fully understand what a 'negotiation' entails - means the EU won't rubber stamp the BoJo/Cummings vision. Probably won't endorse anything UK needs as now UK is out the EU can afford to be hard line. Not sure any negotiation will actually occur, on either side.

How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?

A question that I feel should've been asked before the referendum.

The BBC has absolutely killed itself these last few years by letting the Tories take control of news and current affairs. It was also the Birt reforms of the 90s and successive DGs which drove it into commercial suicide and led to its decline. Now we're seeing its last days.

Coffee and screaming.

Start by not calling the opposition Nazis. Whoops too late.

Get one of those angry leavers to do it.. with zero skills and experience most think they would have got us out by now.

30% of the food in Great Britain comes out of the E.U ! How much time do you think that G.B will take over this purcentage to become autonomous as far as only 49% of the food is produced by the Albion itself ?

You point out the gaping hole In The EU budget they met about yesterday from Brexit and ask if they would like it to get worse?

Do everything Britain doesn't do.

Who is the loser?

Like this....

Any deal will end up with some wins and some compromises. The problem the UK has is they don’t know what it is they were trying to achieve with Brexit so have no way to know what they should fight for and what to compromise on.

1. Be prepared to walk away if the terms offered are bad. 2. See 1.

Oven ready isn't it?

By using professionals acting in good-faith?

One thing is for sure, you don’t seek the advice of the BBC!

Can we have a trade agreement with you but a very fast one because we are scrambling a bit? Yes but we are going to pull your pants down and bum you. Ok then, thanks.

UK: Would you like to sign up to a trade agreement with us? EVERYONE ELSE: No. Simples!

You didn't ask BEFORE the election?

Get the Question Time audience to do it.

They are delicate negotiations which are done without being rushed out of fear that Farage might become angry.

Brexit trade deal: EU tells Boris Johnson he faces 'different ball game' to Canada negotiationsThe PM wants a Canada-style agreement with the EU - but a top Brussels adviser warns against hopes of such a deal. Just sick of all this. None of us will now have any further input or influence over Brexit. Leaving it all to this dodgy, untrustworthy, bigoted bloke to sort out our future. It's just farcical really. Sc....w the EU.!! So the EU is quite happy for one country to have a deal that suits them but not another?
