[manhill]

(2018)
UK beef exports to EU:
42 thousand tonnes of which 16 went to Eire

UK beef imports from EU:
100 th. tonnes of which 80 th. tonnes came from Eire.

(AHDB figures)
So should we be scared of EU tariffs?

Can someone please explain?

Why would you be scared of anything?

You are a GREAT BRITISH citizen

Do you have to be a Lancastrian to eat tripe? Could we start an advertising campaign to promote it.

 

[manhill]

No useful explanations so far!

I would agree that on the face of it British beef producers should be rubbing their hands at the prospect of Brexit, based on those figures. My guess is that there will be a boost for a while, but no deal will result in all sorts finding its way here to undercut. Suburban shopping bills are much more of a priority than rural livelihoods.

As it stands yes. The UK government has proposed tariff free access for most products including meats. That means that the rest of the world will be able to import their products tariff free into the UK. However, the UK will be unable to export it's meat into say the EU without paying the very high tariff the EU currently imposes on foreign meat. It's not all bad, as the government does intend to put significant tariffs on certain products such as manufacturing beef and certain cuts plus things like Cheddar cheese to give some protection to UK producers.

Does that mean there are milk lakes, butter mountains and cold stores full of beef and lamb sitting somewhere in the world that currently has no market?

Discounting the rest of the world for now, this is between the EU and UK. If the EU puts tariffs on the 42k tonnes we sell them, then surely the UK can put a tariff on the 100k tonnes they export to us?

I see where you are coming from. To make it relevant what % of production are those tonnages?

Oh, sorry, tonages

How does all the transport involved fit in with “Climate Change” considerations?

Now remember that! It's tonages after 31 Oct.

In a no deal situation, if the UK puts a tariff on a product, that tariff is enforced on all counties including the EU27 without a preferential trade agreement on that product. If the product has no tariff set by the UK government, then every country has the right to export the product to you tariff free including the EU.. This however is really were NTB's (Non Tariff Barriers) come into play and are generally far more important than monetary tariffs for blocking or disputing trade.
