For a vehicle to qualify as being 'made in the EU' so that it benefits from the easy, tariff-free movement of parts between the supplying EU countries, I understand that at least 55% of the parts of the vehicle have to be manufactured within the EU.

The UK is a significant manufacturer of car parts, and shifts countless pieces back and forth on a daily basis; some 'EU' vehicles use as much as 45% of British-manufactured parts.

What will happen when we are no longer in the EU; the EU will no longer be able to use parts supplied by us if it'll drop the vehicle's overall EU content to below 55%? What will happen to the circa-800,000 jobs in the car parts manufacturing business in the UK?


Oh, and nice deal by the way, EU and Japan.
 
If any of that information is accurate you're probably extremely ignorant or trying to be clever.
The third, most likely possibility is that you're both.

Not that what you posted makes any sense but what Allsorts said is true.
Just in time stock control will also be shafted due to delays going through customs.
These are the realities of Brexit rather than fairy tale ideas about taking back control.

Like, duh? So if that information is incorrect I am extremely clever or trying to be ignorant?

'me - this forum is getting weirder.
 
Ya-ha. So you were trying to be clever but your own ignorance tripped you up , I did mention earlier that you were a fraud.
 
Toyota must have misunderstood the situation, pleging to build it next generation cars here. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Well, mathematically, we’ll be supplying the 45% of parts that are not made in the EU. Mathematics is correct, 55% + 45% = 100% . So everybody happy;);)

You really should have proof read that mate, you might try reading up on WTO rules why you're at it.
 
In a statement, Toyota said:

"Toyota announced investment upgrades for its vehicle plant at Burnaston some time ago, which shows we are doing all we can to ensure our UK operations are as competitive as possible.

The company’s position on Brexit has remained consistent since the UK referendum – that a competitive environment for the UK automotive sector must be maintained in the future. This means continued tariff and barrier-free market access between the UK and Europe that is predictable and uncomplicated.

There are no imminent investment decisions to take on our UK manufacturing businesses. With regard to specific models, Toyota has never commented on future production plans as a matter of course."
 
We can only take it as fact that the lack of input from, GB (grabbed by the balls) on this thread indicates his complete agreement with, DA's statistics.

He is clearly a numpty of the worst kind.
I'm offended by his numptiness.

He should be ashamed of himself.

Tosh, explain how 800,000 jobs will be lost because we manufacture 45% of some cars and that crosses a 55% threshold?
As for a free trade deal between the eu and japan, great news, for us as well, read the WTO rules.

Are you attempting a serious point here, DA?
No?
We can all disregard his statement as sheer folly, like the rest of his ramblings.

You are trying your best to wind folk up, aren't you?
Trolling?
How's them perpetual teenagers of yours doing?
