''Simply put, UK is now up a gum tree.''
''The tariffs that now apply''
Get your facts right before posting - There is no additional tariff that NOW apply.
The trade deal says that a certain percentage of an electric cars components by value need to be sourced in the UK - extra tariffs if not met would be applied starting next year when the percentage increases.
This is a two way agreement, with the same problem for EU exporters to the UK.
Solution - alter the agreement that would benefit both parties, by extending the time frame of percentage increases, allowing time for the UK and EU to increase their capacity to produce self sourced components..
