[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 4354252, member: 8735"] First of all let us note the different identities of the European Commission (EC) and the European Union (EU) as constituted by its future 27 member states. Until a few weeks ago I was of the opinion that rational thinking and economic pragmatism would trump dogma within the EC, it may still do so but now I am less hopeful. Regardless of the UK's being 'punished' at the behest of the EC - and that is probably what they will try to do if they cannot extort sufficient money from us - we will still be a very big market for many EU states, in fact for several EU countries we are a huge market accounting for very large proportions of their exports. I am not sold on EU 'solidarity' as portrayed by the EC. I do not accept that countries which already ignore / flout EC Directives and Regulations to benefit economically in fairly marginal ways will cease to do so when they stand to benefit in very significant ways, and such will be the case with regard to their trade with the UK. They will process our goods because they will want us to reciprocate; forget EC diktats from Mr Juncker or the ravings Mr Verhofstadt, if the EU states frequently ignore them now over a few tens of millions, we can expect them to do so in the future over tens of billions.
