Our major new analysis of the EU-UK trade deal highlights ten areas that must be addressed urgently to deal with non-tariff trade barriers looming come January 1st.

Although the Johnson deal is better than a WTO arrangement, it will still result in ‘considerably higher barriers’ to trade.
@DavidHenigUK identifies areas of concern ranging from regulatory challenges and data issues to membership of the Erasmus scheme and climate change.
Commenting @BestForBritain CEO @pimlicat has said:

“This deal was negotiated at speed, and it shows. It is far from the comprehensive deal voters were promised”
“it is woefully thin on services that account for the lion’s share of our economic power, and it bares little resemblance to a modern trading agreement.”
“But the foundations have been laid, and now the serious building work must begin. This report prioritises the next ten storeys that the UK and EU should layer on top of the deal, to protect our consumers, workers and businesses.”
The ten priority recommendations are:

1.     Secure data adequacy and deepen provisions on digital trade
2.     Establish regulatory dialogues, starting with financial services, as part of financial services equivalence
3.     Develop new trade rules for modern challenges, such as climate change, animal welfare and antimicrobial resistance
4.     Maintain membership of European standardisation bodies
5.     Reach Mutual Recognition Agreements to address testing of industrial goods, and veterinary equivalence for food products
6.     Explore membership of major European regulatory bodies on issues such as aircraft safety (EASA)
7.     Expand cumulation of rules of origin for preferential tariffs either with Japan or PEM (Pan-Euro-Mediterranean) countries
8.     Reconsider UK participation in Erasmus
9.     Re-establish mutual recognition of professional qualifications
10.  Cooperate in renewing the global trade system
@DavidHenigUK has said: “The new UK-EU agreement offers a framework with some essential elements such as the absence of tariffs, basic rules on business travel, and a structured dialogue.”
“But it falls far short in supporting modern trade, in particular in tackling non-tariff barriers, and UK-based businesses need much more.”
“A strong trade relationship requires more than a Free Trade Agreement, which is why countries that aspire to trade extensively – typically neighbours – build deep relationships.”
“We will continue to be neighbours, and should seek to be good neighbours and heavy traders. Relations have taken a knock in the last four-and-a-half years, and it is time to start rebuilding them.”

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.
