[QUOTE="PercyBlakeney, post: 6076452, member: 108384"] As far as I am aware, there will only be no tariffs on NZ + Aus lamb in a no deal. This is because it has already been agreed that the tariff free quotas those two countries have access to will be proportionately split between the UK and the EU based on historic volumes. (I think around 50% of the quota to UK and 50% to rest of EU for NZ lamb). Any other lamb imported to the UK in a no deal will be subject to tariffs, which the government have published as being the same as the EU third country tariff rates (so for carcasses the same as I posted above). In 2018 the UK imported was just over 20,000 tonnes of lamb from the EU, which in the event of a no deal would be subject to tariffs. As we won't have any trading agreement, and thus preferential access with the EU in a no deal scenario, any lamb we export to the EU will be subject to the EU third country tariffs. In a no deal we are acting as our own trading bloc so what tariffs we implement doesn't have to be reciprocated by the EU. It's more that all countries exporting to the UK have to be on a level playing field. Similarly all countries exporting to the EU that don't have a trade agreement also have to be on a level playing field. But those two playing fields aren't the same. That's how I've understood it all from what the government has published this week, although I'm guessing you've interpreted it differently. I think what has been the reported line is that 'there has been no change to the tariff rates for lamb compared to the EU MFN tariff.' But that in itself is an implementation of a tariff as currently we don't have any, a bit like beef. To be honest, the BBC and to an extent some of the farming press have been slightly mis-reporting the consequences of the introduction of tariffs in my opinion. To be honest it's more of a face to face/over the phone discussion in my opinion as hard to get it across in words.. or maybe that's just my bad prose.. [/QUOTE]
