"Dash for Diesel"

[1959_60]

Big difference Sinkov.

We have spent the last 40 years working and trading together - and it has worked brilliantly for us.
Now we are tearing up all these agreements and going it alone -without identifying where our trade will come from after 11PM March 29th 2019. So yes, we ARE vulnerable.

Just as Germany or France would be should they decide to leave.

Have you heard of REACH for instance?

Basically, it is a EU wide agreement detailing which chemicals are safe/unsafe when used in various ways. (Did you know that over 10,000 different chemicals are used in making a car? Neither did I).

Now, after we leave the EU, our chemical industry, which is one of our biggest exporters, will be unable to export these chemicals because we will no longer be in the REACH and will have to re-classify every single one of them (to EU standards) before we can continue to trade with Europe.

To put this in context, this industry is worth £55 billion to our economy.

Understandably, our chemical companies are very concerned.
