It's merely paperwork as a non-EASA member wouldn't be allowed to certify parts for use under EASA.<br /><br />The same situation already exists in every other region that requires certification. So why do you believe that this is a special case that suddenly makes RR a German company when getting FAA certification doesn't make RR a US company?<br /><br />For your point to hold water you'd have to say it's because RR already has factories etc in Germany and that moving the paperwork is the tipping point. But in that argument the important factor is the factories and they existed pre-Brexit so you wouldn't get the satisfaction of a low-effort "gotcha".Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-35178037327107688082019-02-05T00:20:28.862+00:002019-02-05T00:20:28.862+00:00Fear in Brussels or toilets flushing in Conservati...Fear in Brussels or toilets flushing in Conservative clubs? http://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2019/02/brexiters-are-finally-being-forced-to.htmlHermionenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-12495687436271554622019-02-05T00:18:32.328+00:002019-02-05T00:18:32.328+00:00Replying to @K said ... and Rick Hamilton

That budget is only about one percent of EU GDP too. So the UK money is about one-eighth-of-one-percent of the EU GDP of some seventeen trillion US dollars, or of about fourteen trillion if you omit the UK. The EU twenty-seven will have no serious problem in re-budgeting. The problems will be in the UK. Its commerce with the EU more-or-less equals that with all the hundreds of countries in the rest of the world combined. Yes, including the US. Nearly all of that happens under EU trade agreements at present too, not under UK national ones.

Normal people might expect leaving a customs union to involve putting up some sort of border. But NI politicians are not normal people and so we have had endless argy bargy to put a fig leaf over this inconvenient factor.<br /><br />Fraser Nelson is trying to spin the Backstop as some sort of wicked plot to keep Britain in the EU forever. Not so, Britain is free to leave any time she chooses, but one side or the other must put up some sort of customs border - at their expense. Inconvenient but that is the cost of leaving the club. The backstop is merely an insurance policy to ensure Britain and her politicians live up to their side of the bargain. Not that they would ever welch.....<br /><br />Any sensible plan to leave the EU would have involved a plan to unload NI. Snag is nobody wants it. The place is about the population of Hampshire and costs a full on government and more seats in Parliament than it ever deserves. A lot more trouble than it is worth. Before embarking on Brexit we should have done a bit of tidying up first - otherwise it all gets very messy.<br /><br />In the end Mrs May will go to Brussels, they will give her a little packet of oofle dust and some smoke and mirrors and that is all she is likely to get. But that should be enough to satisfy her vegetables. I follow a variety of European newspapers and I detect little or no concern at all.jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00470816959796395467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-49359573282198627492019-02-01T12:21:17.621+00:002019-02-01T12:21:17.621+00:00Corbyn wants out of the EU.
