Another ten years of negotiations to goJust saw another of those 'talks extended for a further 72 hours' type headlines. GET BREXIT DONE, lol.
I thought the whole Brexit thing was a rat shit clause.In fact, the UK are banning live animal exports. Will that not mean the EU also have to, if a ratchet clause is agreed?
Will you be able to transport live animals to N Ireland?In fact, the UK are banning live animal exports. Will that not mean the EU also have to, if a ratchet clause is agreed?
in that nothing much has changed?Interesting to look back 11 months:
The big Brexit thread - news, updates and discussion
Now the the UK has 'left' the supra-state, perhaps it's time to move onto a new thread considering the negotiations to establish a new trading relationship with the 27? Of course, the opening gambits will be negotiating positions, but did we expect the right party of capital to come out so...www.urban75.net

This possible failure of the talks is because of the EU insistence that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.
Free trade is tied to a level playing field, if we/they don't achieve a level playing field there will be tariffs. I would have thought there would be enough motivation to compromise on that without needing fishing to hold it up.If they were agreeing piecemeal what is the incentive to compromise on any individual issue?
Think it's unlikely to be a two-way ratchet.In fact, the UK are banning live animal exports. Will that not mean the EU also have to, if a ratchet clause is agreed?

Unlikely.What s a two-way ratchet?
No, what do you actually mean by a two way ratchet?Unlikely.
If EU minimum standards rise, then UK standards will rise (to avoid consequences). However, it won't work the other way. UK standards can go as high as they like, but EU countries won't have to follow suit. It has to be that way, because otherwise the EU would be giving the UK a power to single-handedly determine EU policy that the EU's own member states don't have.
So, it's a one-way ratchet. Like a one-way street, but confusing.
UK standards and high, been a while since I heard a sentence built around those two things
