Sorry, but I couldn't get it down to one page a la Neville Chamberlain (who is clearly TMs hero).
It's merely a regurgitation of EU rules and cross references; so, actually, it would almost certainly have been produced by some EU waller, cutting and pasting at a leisurely rate in order to spin out the delay time. It covers every aspect of life as we know it, including bananas from Central America; although I didn't spot toilet rolls ... but that probably comes under the paper products section 'Article XYZ'). It's a lawyers charter.
The WA is life as we know it now/it's nothing new; so absolutely nothing to fear from telling the waste of time politicians - who have spun this out for self-glorification - simply to F off and let real business people get on with running their businesses. By the way, the Project Fear business mob can shut up too; they've had two years to make contingency plans for a no deal route and arguing about 'just in time' doesn't stack up ... good spin but they've probably been stock-piling anyway. The cross border technology we already have and to say we can't handle imports/exports is a lie, again put out by the spineless, self-serving remoaners. No deal would not be like jumping off a cliff; we just get on and agree new trade deals, as every other country does - WTA is merely a guideline and most countries do not trade at those rates.
