Q & A

  • 为什么英国脱欧后与加拿大的贸易谈判暂停了?

    -英国与加拿大的贸易谈判暂停主要是因为双方在某些关键问题上存在分歧,例如英国拒绝接受加拿大含有激素的牛肉出口,同时加拿大对英国奶酪出口提出高额关税。这些分歧导致谈判陷入僵局,因此双方决定暂时停止谈判。

  • 脱欧后,英国为何难以达成有利的贸易协议?

    -脱欧后,英国失去了作为欧盟成员国时的市场规模优势,成为一个更小的市场,这使得英国在贸易谈判中处于劣势,不得不比在欧盟时放弃更多本国企业的保护措施。此外,其他国家意识到英国急于达成协议,从而提高了对英国的要求。

  • 为什么说脱欧后英国的贸易协议并没有比欧盟时期更好?

    -根据官方的经济影响评估,脱欧后的贸易协议并没有给英国带来比欧盟时期更多的贸易好处。实际上,英国失去了与欧盟的无摩擦贸易,而新达成的贸易协议并没有补偿这一损失。

  • 脱欧支持者关于贸易协议的一个合理假设是什么?

    -脱欧支持者认为,由于单一市场在达成贸易协议时需要妥协以满足二十多个成员国的需求,英国单独行动时可以更灵活、更快地安排协议,因为只需要满足英国和谈判国双方的需求。

  • 为什么说脱欧后英国并没有展现出更灵活的贸易谈判能力?

    -尽管理论上英国脱欧后应该能够更灵活地进行贸易谈判,但实际上英国并没有利用这种灵活性获得更好的贸易条件。相反,英国在与日本、澳大利亚、新西兰以及欧盟的谈判中做出了让步,导致贸易条件比预期更差。

  • 脱欧对英国农业的影响是什么?

    -脱欧对英国农业产生了负面影响,因为新的贸易协议可能会使英国市场对外国农产品更加开放,这对本土农民构成了竞争压力。同时,英国农民对于贸易协议中的让步表示不满。

  • 为什么说脱欧实验在贸易协议方面失败了?

    -脱欧实验在贸易协议方面失败了,因为英国并没有实现脱欧支持者所承诺的更优贸易条件。相反,英国失去了欧盟成员国身份带来的贸易优势,而且新达成的贸易协议并没有为英国的商业和消费者带来实质性的好处。

  • 脱欧后,英国应该如何进行贸易谈判?

    -脱欧后,英国应该坚持合理的时间表进行贸易谈判,不应该急于求成。应该坚持自己的利益,不轻易让步,确保最终达成的贸易协议对英国的商业和消费者都是一个净收益。

  • 为什么脱欧后英国与美国的贸易协议迟迟未能实现?

    -脱欧后英国与美国的贸易协议未能实现的原因可能与美国政府的立场有关。据英国商务大臣的说法,美国现任政府并没有表现出达成贸易协议的意愿,这可能与英国在脱欧后贸易立场的不确定性有关。

  • 脱欧后,英国在贸易谈判中的地位如何?

    -脱欧后,英国失去了作为欧盟成员国时的市场规模优势,因此在贸易谈判中的地位相对较弱。英国需要在谈判中做出更多让步,以吸引其他国家与其达成贸易协议。

  • 脱欧对英国经济的长期影响是什么?

    -脱欧对英国经济的长期影响尚未完全显现,但根据目前的情况分析,脱欧并没有带来预期的贸易好处,反而可能导致英国失去与欧盟的无摩擦贸易,长期来看可能会对英国经济产生负面影响。

  • 英国公众如何看待目前的脱欧贸易协议?

    -根据视频中的信息,英国公众对于目前的脱欧贸易协议持批评态度。他们认为这些协议并没有带来预期的经济好处,而且对于政府在谈判中的让步表示不满。

Highlights

上周英国脱欧相关的重大新闻之一是与加拿大的贸易谈判暂停,这突显了脱欧后贸易谈判的复杂性。

脱欧派主张离开关税同盟和单一市场,以获得贸易自由,但现实中这与移民问题并无直接关联。

脱欧后,英国失去了与欧盟的贸易优势,导致新的贸易协议难以达成,且条件往往不如之前。

脱欧派现在试图声称脱欧并非关于贸易协议,这表明他们意识到在贸易协议上未能兑现承诺。

英国在与澳大利亚的贸易谈判中做出了过多让步,这可能使得其他国家在与英国的谈判中采取更强硬的立场。

贸易谈判中,市场规模较大的一方通常拥有更多的议价能力,脱欧使英国失去了这一优势。

脱欧后英国急于达成贸易协议以兑现对公众的承诺,这使得英国在谈判中处于不利地位。

与新西兰的贸易协议对新西兰非常有利,而英国得到的条款并不理想。

贸易专家认为,与主要市场的贸易谈判可能需要长达十年的时间才能完成。

英国政府为了快速达成贸易协议,可能会在谈判中对对方的要求做出过多让步。

当前的保守党领导层可能不再像之前那样重视快速的贸易协议头条新闻,因为这些协议的成本很高。

一些保守党议员公开批评当前贸易协议的软弱,英国农民也对这些协议感到不满。

脱欧后英国面临的两种选择是:要么快速同意对方所有要求以达成协议,要么坚持自己的立场,进行长期谈判。

脱欧的现实是,英国无法通过脱欧来谈判出比作为欧盟成员国更好的贸易协议。

脱欧支持者提出的一些论点在理论上是合理的,但实际结果证明他们是错误的。

脱欧派认为英国单独行动可以更灵活、更快地达成贸易协议,但事实上英国并没有做到这一点。

英国与日本、澳大利亚、新西兰以及欧盟的贸易协议并没有达到选民被承诺的水平。

脱欧实验在多个层面上失败了,特别是在贸易协议方面。

英国政府官方的经济影响评估显示,这些贸易协议并没有带来重大的积极影响。

脱欧带来的是更多的自我伤害,而不是任何即使是假设的长期利益。

hi marville I like talking about

play00:01

politics and as we draw to the end of a

play00:03

week when the wheels have fallen off the

play00:05

brexit wagon again like to discuss the

play00:07

reasons and realities surrounding the

play00:09

pausing trade negotiations with Canada

play00:12

the latest case of brexit hitting

play00:14

reality and getting a headache but first

play00:16

if you'd like to be notified of daily

play00:17

news and politics please subscribe to

play00:19

the channel so there was a bit of a

play00:21

blizzard of major brexit stories last

play00:23

week and in between the Tory psycho

play00:25

dramas still working through them but

play00:27

the collapse of trade talks with Canada

play00:30

is a particularly interesting one

play00:31

because it goes right to the heart of

play00:33

the main reason for particularly leaving

play00:35

the Customs Union leaving the single

play00:38

Market was largely argued on the basis

play00:40

of getting voters to believe freedom of

play00:41

movement was linked to the forms of

play00:43

immigration that brexiteers complained

play00:45

about in reality of course it wasn't as

play00:48

has been shown since but the Customs

play00:50

Union why would people object to the

play00:52

Customs Union when it just makes trade

play00:54

easier and cheaper with our Major Market

play00:57

without it having anything whatsoever to

play00:59

do with immigration

play01:01

trade deals inside a customs Union

play01:04

really tricky to embark on the wonderful

play01:06

trade deals that brex promised us the

play01:09

fact that these trade deals have now all

play01:11

turned out to be at best as good as the

play01:14

ones we had with the EU and in many

play01:16

cases now significantly worse seems to

play01:19

be neither here nor there and in fact

play01:21

after this week some brexiteers are

play01:22

trying to argue that brexit was never

play01:25

about trade deals and every time

play01:27

brexiteers say oh no it wasn't about

play01:28

this thing at all because they know

play01:30

they've lost that argument but it was we

play01:33

can find out it was we've still got

play01:35

their literature and and then he thinks

play01:37

yourself but in that case okay so then

play01:39

presumably you've got no objection to

play01:41

rejoin the Customs Union then in reality

play01:44

there are objections but never mind that

play01:46

for now we're not in a position to

play01:48

rejoin the EU as a whole or single

play01:49

Market individually we could negotiate a

play01:51

customs Union with the EU in a much more

play01:54

reasonable time scale unfortunately the

play01:57

media never asked the brexiters why we

play01:58

shouldn't now so I can't pass on their

play02:00

response to that but there are responses

play02:03

which I'll cover in another video next

play02:05

week but what happened this week to

play02:07

shine a spotlight on it all well first

play02:10

business secretary KY bad knck broached

play02:12

the subject of why we don't have a US

play02:14

trade deal as promised it was promised

play02:17

we're going to have a US trade deal oh

play02:18

it's all America's fault she said Biden

play02:21

doesn't want one you know so I can't

play02:23

deliver it so I guess we didn't hold all

play02:25

the cards then after all then later on

play02:27

talks with Canada were paused we're

play02:30

refusing to accept hormone injected beef

play02:32

good which Canada wants to export to us

play02:35

and they're wanting to apply eye

play02:37

watering tariffs to our cheese exports

play02:39

to them oh we're not so keen on that the

play02:41

talks were seemingly going nowhere so

play02:43

now they've been stopped for a while

play02:45

this is not uncommon this happens with

play02:46

trade talks um David henck has suggested

play02:49

that Canada have been pursuing a very

play02:51

tough line in the negotiations something

play02:53

that might be partly explained by the

play02:55

fact that we caved completely to

play02:57

Australia thus letting everyone else

play02:59

know that we were desperate

play03:01

interestingly I've made the same points

play03:03

myself at the time without being

play03:05

anything close to a trade expert it's

play03:07

almost like it was obvious if you

play03:09

completely cave into the demands of a

play03:11

country with an economy the size of

play03:13

Australia which is not tiny but it's not

play03:14

G7 level then obviously countries with

play03:17

an even greater economy are going to set

play03:19

a high bar for agreement themselves in

play03:21

fact before we even left the EU I used

play03:23

to regularly point out two realities

play03:26

that were always going to bite us on the

play03:27

ass when it came to trade deals first so

play03:30

the way trade talks work is each side

play03:32

wants to gain enhanced access to the

play03:34

other's Market without opening up their

play03:36

own Market too much they know they're

play03:37

going to have to do it a bit but you

play03:39

know they don't want to over eg it well

play03:42

a larger market can open up its own

play03:44

Market a tiny little bit in a way that's

play03:46

worth a lot to that smaller market so a

play03:50

larger market has an upper hand in trade

play03:53

talks because they don't have to concede

play03:55

as much to get agreement but by leaving

play03:57

the EU we became a much smaller market

play04:01

for trade talks meaning that we would

play04:03

always have to give up more protections

play04:05

for our own businesses than we did in

play04:08

the EU to strike a deal second

play04:11

absolutely everyone negotiating us would

play04:14

know that we were desperate to do a deal

play04:16

in order to sell the benefits of brexit

play04:17

to an expectant public what Boris

play04:19

Johnson was never going to get away with

play04:22

was right we can embark on all these new

play04:24

great trade deals now and people go so

play04:26

when could we expect to see them prime

play04:28

minister out about 10 years time no no

play04:30

no that couldn't happen and so it turned

play04:33

out to be never mind Australia New

play04:35

Zealand walked away with a trade deal

play04:37

very much in their favor we were

play04:39

basically getting the sort of deals

play04:41

which tiny markets would have to accept

play04:43

not one of the largest in the world but

play04:46

the reality of brexit threw a third

play04:48

third factor in as well once you

play04:50

actually concede unwisely generous terms

play04:53

to one country all the other countries

play04:56

want the same what hen's pointing out is

play04:59

because because Johnson and Truss caved

play05:01

into Australia on so much just to get

play05:04

their positive headlines it gave the

play05:06

green light for everyone else to demand

play05:08

more had we approached each trade deal

play05:11

on its own merits had we observed

play05:13

sensible red lines and stuck by them as

play05:15

fiercely as the brex stood by their EU

play05:19

red lines then we could have been in a

play05:21

much stronger position and this was all

play05:23

caused because trade experts would say

play05:26

that trade negotiations can take up to a

play05:28

decade to conclude with major markets

play05:30

and Johnson had to prove them wrong by

play05:32

completing them in a matter of months

play05:34

but of course anyone can conclude a

play05:36

trade talk in a matter of months if you

play05:38

give the other side everything they ask

play05:40

for the years of talks are supposed to

play05:42

be each side moving very slowly towards

play05:45

each other until they get agreement to

play05:48

make sure that you don't give away more

play05:50

than you need to to get the best deal

play05:52

for yourself but to show also that

play05:55

you're a tough cookie for the next

play05:56

Market you negotiate with what we did

play05:59

was basically tell Canada and everyone

play06:01

else but Canada is a G7 country we were

play06:04

willing to be bent over and spanked by

play06:06

New Zealand so of course we would give

play06:08

our North American cousins whatever they

play06:10

asked for only things have changed a bit

play06:13

back when when Johnson was in charge

play06:16

there is no doubt in my mind Canada

play06:18

would have secured the terms it wanted

play06:20

but the bitter taste of our first trade

play06:22

deals is having an effect now even some

play06:24

conservative MPS are openly criticizing

play06:27

the weakness of these deals and British

play06:29

farmers are not best pleased either and

play06:32

you know the Tories need agricultural

play06:35

areas the current Tory leadership does

play06:37

not seem to see as much value in a nice

play06:41

headline in the Daily Express when it

play06:43

comes at such a cost so now they're

play06:45

finding they can't strike deals at all

play06:48

because we always had two choices when

play06:50

it came to brexit trade deals either

play06:52

agree to everything the other side

play06:53

wanted and get a quick one or stick to

play06:55

our guns and be forced to negotiate them

play06:57

slowly properly over many years and not

play07:00

be able to post any positive headlines

play07:02

to the news Because by the time we'd

play07:04

secured that deal whoever was in charge

play07:06

at the start of the negotiations would

play07:08

be long gone by then because these deals

play07:12

take place over much more than the span

play07:15

of a single Parliament frankly although

play07:18

this latest episode is embarrassing and

play07:20

should be embarrassing for brex Te it's

play07:22

no bad thing for the country because

play07:24

mutually beneficial trade deals do take

play07:26

so many years and can easily start on

play07:29

under one government and conclude under

play07:30

another so we can do with the media

play07:33

Spotlight not being not not on it

play07:35

because we don't want it to become party

play07:37

political they should really be taking

play07:39

place in the background too boring to

play07:42

report on except when we get to the

play07:44

business end of talks and those talks

play07:46

should never be concluded unless the

play07:47

deal is a net benefit to both our

play07:50

businesses and consumers and no a

play07:53

hypothetical

play07:55

0.05% boost to GDP in 20 years is not a

play07:58

net benefit basically the brexit

play08:00

experiment has failed on so many levels

play08:03

and certainly when it comes to trade

play08:04

deals now don't get me wrong brexiteers

play08:07

did make an argument which was not

play08:08

utterly ridiculous when it came to

play08:10

negotiations you know an awful lot of

play08:12

the things that were promised with

play08:13

brexit were childishly stupid were never

play08:15

going to happen but there were a couple

play08:17

of arguments brexiters genuinely had so

play08:21

with one of them it was went like this

play08:23

remainers argued that the larger single

play08:25

Market would always be able to get

play08:27

better trade deals because of its huge

play08:29

Consumer Power brexiteers argued that

play08:33

the problem with the single Market trade

play08:35

deals is there was too much compromise

play08:38

because they had to satisfy over two

play08:40

dozen countries every single member

play08:41

State got a a vote on whether they

play08:44

approved it or not a single country

play08:45

could sink a trade deal as has happened

play08:50

whereas the UK on its own can be nimbler

play08:53

arrange quicker deals because you only

play08:55

have to satisfy two countries the UK and

play08:57

whichever one were negotiating

play08:59

with this was a reasonable hypothesis in

play09:02

theory but the facts show that they

play09:05

actually just got it wrong we haven't

play09:07

managed to use our new found nimbleness

play09:09

to get better trade deals we initially

play09:11

gave into the demands of Japan Australia

play09:13

New Zealand as well as the EU and have

play09:15

found ourselves with much worse trading

play09:17

terms when voters were promised the same

play09:20

or better so now we've tried to stick to

play09:23

our guns and are finding ourselves with

play09:25

no deal at all so now we're in a hall

play09:28

brexit is not allowing us to negotiate

play09:30

decent trade deals not everyone is

play09:32

accepting that yet but the reality is

play09:34

that we are not going to negotiate any

play09:36

trade deals with any market around the

play09:38

world that is better than the one we

play09:40

would have had as an EU member that is

play09:43

being demonstrated ever more clearly

play09:45

with each passing year the solution

play09:47

isn't easy though uh but I as I say I'm

play09:50

likely to discuss that in a standalone

play09:51

video in the near future over the next

play09:53

week I hope until then this pausing the

play09:56

trade talks with Canada it should be

play09:58

another way call right consider what's

play10:01

happened over the past few four years of

play10:02

brexit a lot of noise in the media about

play10:05

their oh great trade deal and this great

play10:07

trade deal and that great trade oh look

play10:08

at all these trade deals so where are

play10:10

the benefits then where's the benefit to

play10:12

our trade oh not actually improved trade

play10:14

oh dear what does the official analysis

play10:17

say is going to improve because never

play10:20

mind what a minister might tell a

play10:21

newspaper and the newspaper May tell

play10:23

their readers where there are no

play10:25

consequences for lying the official

play10:27

economic impact assessment that the

play10:29

government publish say that we gain

play10:31

nothing of consequence from these trade

play10:32

deals yet we know we lost a great deal

play10:36

with our hard brexit and the more people

play10:38

see this the quicker we will be able to

play10:40

take action because right now we are

play10:42

just hurting ourselves for no even

play10:44

hypothetical benefit there isn't going

play10:46
