You may have heard that for example Switzerland has this famous bilateral treaties with the EU. Bilateral not multilateral. You either deal with all of them or with none of them.<br />2. The EU is a union not just a free trade agreement like NAFTA. Bilateral trade agreements between single member states of the EU and non-member states are illegal. <br />3. The most important issue is the weak Euro. This can only be fixed by the ECB - not by a single member state.<br /><br />UrsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882645467378797266.post-86912214620628845672017-03-08T21:10:57.755+01:002017-03-08T21:10:57.755+01:00But the EU is not a country.

It is able to basically use the argument that they are in the eurozone and they are therefore unable to have any kind of discussion with the United States about reducing our almost $70bn trade deficit,” Mr Navarro said, dubbing the deficit with Germany “a serious issue”. <br /><br />He added: “That may or may not be true. I think it would be useful to have candid discussions with Germany about ways that we can get that deficit reduced outside of the boundaries and restrictions that they claim that they are under.” <br /><br />Mr Navarro also argued in his speech that German companies’ ability to claim a value added tax rebate on exports under World Trade Organisation rules was an example of an unfair “playing field”. US companies cannot do the same because the country’s business tax system is based on income, not sales.<br /><br />Mr Navarro played down fears that the new Trump administration was looking to engage in trade wars, saying that the president wanted to pursue trade that was “free, fair and reciprocal”. “The broader goal of a free trade policy based on fairness and reciprocity is not to raise either tariffs or non-tariff barriers,” he said. “Rather it is simply to encourage our trading partners to lower theirs.” <br /><br />But he also made clear the new administration wanted to change how international business was conducted as a matter of national security, complaining that only one company in the US was now able to repair submarine propellers.<br /><br />https://www.ft.com/content/e2d04cda-028f-11e7-ace0-1ce02ef0def9?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882645467378797266.post-31278980917423282042017-03-05T12:59:31.022+01:002017-03-05T12:59:31.022+01:00Klaus:
