ECI @ECISVEEP, is it true that EVM-VVPAT is connected to an external device, SLU, through a 9 pin serial cable?

And SLU is connected to a laptop through a serial cable?

Then what about EVM-VVPAT are stand alone machines not connected to external devices claim @SpokespersonECI?


This is from a BEL technical document for M3 VVPAT available at

Now please don’t get this also taken down @ECISVEEP. Why trouble the wayback machine? :)


ECI @ECISVEEP can you share what is this symbol loading software on the laptop that needs to be opened to connect the Laptop, SLU/VVPAT?

Why publicly available EVM-VVPAT manuals on your site does not talk about any of this? @SpokespersonECI


ECI @ECISVEEP, what are these poll sessions on VVPAT slips?

Does the VVPAT remembers sessions.

How it gets incremented with each power ONs?

Does it also have date/time info?

Won’t it render the entire mock-poll process useless? @SpokespersonECI

This potential benefit list from CPTPP is not the longest and is still misleading. Those Malaysian whisky tariffs - emilimated over 15 years (if they don't seek any specific exemption for UK). Those rules of origin benefits? Only apply to import / export to CPTPP countries. https://t.co/9TbheOVhsR


Here's my more realistic take on CPTPP. Economic gains limited, but politically in terms of trade this makes some sort of sense, these are likely allies. DIT doesn't say this, presumably the idea of Australia or Canada as our equal upsets them.


As previously noted agriculture interests in Australia and New Zealand expect us to reach generous agreements in WTO talks and bilaterals before acceding to CPTPP. So this isn't a definite. Oh and Australia wants to know if we'll allow hormone treated beef

Ultimately trade deals are political, and the UK really wants CPTPP as part of the pivot to indo-pacific, and some adherents also hope it forces us to change food laws without having to do it in a US deal (isn't certain if this is the case or not).

If we can accede to CPTPP without having to make changes to domestic laws it is fine. Just shouldn't be our priority, as it does little for services, is geographically remote, and hardly cutting edge on issues like climate change or animal welfare.
