Is a temporary agreement a possible solution?
Trade law experts point out that a temporary agreement is possible while the UK is negotiating any type of a final trade deal with the EU. Indeed Dr Lorand Bartels of Cambridge University has drafted a short, bare-bones trade agreement to show that this is technically possible. The draft Withdrawal Agreement would also qualify.

The UK cannot do this alone though. Under GATT Article XXIV, a WTO member would not be able to act unilaterally, in other words both parties to this future trade agreement would have to agree to it for it to apply.

Moreover, GATT Article XXIV only applies to forming a customs union or a free trade area for goods. In talks of a future UK-EU relationship many other aspects of trade have to be settled such as the level of regulatory alignment, mutual recognition of standards, and crucially, trade in services, for which the equivalent to GATT Article XXIV is GATS Article V.

Article XXIV is key to any preferential trade relationship between the UK and the EU. However, it is unlikely that the option of an ‘interim agreement’ will be of immediate use. Article XXIV is much more likely to be used for a full free trade agreement.

If all parties are willing, it is possible. The EU might not be willing, we might not be willing, I don't know that, nor do you. I do suspect neither party will want tariffs.

The possibility that other WTO members can block an “interim agreement” has proven to be enough of a deterrent that no WTO members have notified an interim agreement since 1995.

As pointed out.

Why shifting goal posts - you are arguing we can be a third country and still trade tariff free with the EU under WTO.

Absolute boll ox - your own link confirms that, yet you choose to ignore what's written in front of you.

I'm not vain or stupid enough to say that's what will happen because I know that there may be obstacles, but I will say it again, if both parties are willing, it is possible. You're saying impossible, the only way you could possibly know this is if you are privy to exactly what's going to happen in the final days/weeks of October, and I suspect that is not the case.
 
e UK is negotiating any type of a final trade deal with the EU.

So not possible in event of a no deal.

As I keep saying, a no deal will only lead to a deal.....on EU terms.

Or did you mean a negotiated deal with the EU.....which you dont want because of Irish border....oh and the small matter of the WA not being a trade deal.


So, the only possible Brexit is one where the UK lose control and power.
So now you have posted what Ive been telling you, yet despite posting that, you decide not to understand it.

What I don’t understand is that if Fact Hunt can work this out, why can’t all the political commentators or even those in the government from any party see it AND MENTION IT instead of relying on vote in the commons, new legislation and court action? Strange, isn’t it?
 
Jezza as caretaker PM.....Rofllllllll..Now that would be a hoot

Tell you what, let's see where we are in November shall we.

Did you even read the point from your own article. Either you want to ignore the truth or simply cannot comprehend it.

How many times must it be repeated till it settles in your brain?

It is out the hands of the EU and UK.

 
Nice to see you’ve finally accepted my immigrant posts as fact.

Nice to have accepted the fact you post about immigrants. Your pet subject.

Essex is it? Do your work colleagues share your views.
 
Told you. No problem with immigrants as long as they are either here as a tourist, spending money and boosting the economy or working. FYI I am against home brewed scummers who don’t do a days work and just ponce from the state. Just what is it about that attitude that don’t you understand?

And how will Brexit deal with it.

The government already has those powers

That is not your attitude, not from your posts. I don't really care if you dislike foreigners but don't try to whitewash it.
