why they going to import oz stuff to france ?
anyway is it worth bashing your head about ? though I spose if you do it enough you won't have enough sense left to care
Nothing to do with farming.
Australian beef and lamb shouldn't have a big impact on the UK market. However, it will set a massive precedence for future trade deals with the likes of the USA and Brazil, where the UK trade negotiators may have something to actually gain by sacrificing its farmers, food hygiene and welfare status.

Won’t be your problem then will it so best you concentrate on something your side of the ditch, instead of spreading your doom here.

Like said , it’s not your problem so why you still even here after years of spreading doom and gloom on brexit you have just jumped on this ! Not your problem lad your in France don’t worry your self .
Fortunately, as you rightly say its not my problem. But why aren't UK farmers mobilising, the government couldn't care less about farming and the opposition seem to have vanished into outer space. If you don't voice opposition to this trade deal even if it appears inconsequential, there will be no chance of blocking or limiting the really serious ones over the coming years.

Aye, keep you head firmly in the sand and it will go away. But no French farmers to fight your corner this time.
Why keep on about head in the sand ?
I would think it was reasonably clear what was on the cards, see my posts before the eu ref
Just cos some folk don't shout about it on here at every opportunity don't mean they can't see whats going on

How do you know who is voicing opposition, not everything has to be shouted about on TFF
