Japan Finalizes EU Deal: No Backstop, No Free Movement, No £39bn Bill (BREXIT?)

Unlike May's HORRID sham to defraud the British People with her "brexit" deal.

"Japan Finalises EU Deal: No Backstop, No Free Movement, No £39bn Bill"


"Japan has finalised a long-delayed free trade agreement with the European Union — without having to join the bloc’s Customs Union, submit to its Free Movement immigration regime, or pay it tens of billions of euros.

While the EU has long since moved on from the days when it was supposed to be “trade bloc” — for example, by taking control of national fishing grounds and forming joint police, intelligence, and military bodies — it is still at root a Customs Union.

The bloc levies a Common External Tariff on all countries it has not negotiated a trade pact with, either individually or through organisations such as the European Economic Area (EEA), and forbids member-states from striking their own bilateral agreements or even casting independent votes on world trade bodies such as the WTO and UNECE.

In the United Kingdom, activists and politicians loyal to the EU have often downplayed the disadvantages this entails. They note the country is unable to sign deals with either the United States or its historic partners in the Commonwealth of Nations, for example, which dampens commercial opportunities and increasing the cost of imports for consumers.

Europhiles highlight both the bloc’s “clout” on the world stage, and suggest that a UK-EU deal would not be possible without the sort of punishing conditions attached to the “worst deal in history” which Theresa May has negotiated with it."
