Regulatory divergence is a cost all of its own. The main impact of Brexit is that manufacturers have to check three sets of rules rather than two and print "UKCA" next to "CE" on goods. As well as all the customs checks which appear because of divergence, including those within the UK because of the NI farming question.
The idea of growth through liberalization should have been subject to the question "which rules, exactly" before getting to the point of the referendum.
- IAmBroom 1y agoAgreed, but we all know the voters didn't choose growth through liberalization; they chose "get those EU gits out of our hair - BRITANNIA FOREVER!".
- cuuupid 1y agoThis again seems like something trivially automated (and is in other developed countries outside the EU like the US, JP, CN, etc). Why is nobody tackling this in the UK? Sure it would have been better to do it before the referendum but it seems everyone on that side of the pond has been wallowing in grief for the better part of a decade which should have been more than enough time to remedy the issues. Moving _slower_ than regulation is… certainly a choice.
