« on: 26/06/2016 09:10:32 »Renault, BMW and VW will not wait for 2 years before lowering the UK price of their vehicles to meet the challenge of Ford and GM. The EU can decide tomorrow what import tax to apply to British goods, but as we don't supply much to the EU, HM Government can simply reflect that tax on goods imported from the EU and thereby inflict grievous harm on German manufacturing and French farming.
I thought they were unable to change any status of the EU membership until after the 2 year period?
Does anyone know how will brexit affect the tier system of regulatiing exhaust gas emission for motors? As well as the other environmental laws, eg. is it now more or less likely that there will be fracking, or are these not affected?
