There are no alternatives to accepting the deal that the UK has negotiated. Pass it, or not, we are stuck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Gay'n Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 The agreement is here, if you want to have a skeet. If you search the term 'Isle of Man', there are plenty of hits - virtually all about fishing. I haven't been able to get my head round what is set out, and if I do, I'll let everyone know.

Boo Gay'n Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 From what I can see, we have kept our relationship with EU as regards goods - so we should be able to export without tariffs. We never had access for services, so there is no change there. The Isle of Man will also continue to work against VAT fraud across the whole customs territory. The agreement gives a unique carve-out for the 'territorial sea adjacent to the Isle of Man' (which must be our 12 mile zone) meaning that fishing rights will only be granted to boats that have been fishing here during the last three years. Gibraltar and the Overseas Territories are excluded from the agreement completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 That's a great link. But it's too early to know what will happen. Services including financial services are not part of the initial deal. But are very much part of the next round of treaty negotiations beginning immediately. And the London government will be very keen to negotiate treaties which the City will be happy with. It's important to remember that fishing is a negligible part of the UK economy whilst financial services is most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 And the treaties which will be negotiated in the next rounds do not have to be agreed by the London parliament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Expect to see much of the previous EU regulation gradually reintroduced under the radar as part of the long process of negotiating treaties around services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barlow Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Ireland wanted to ban UK planes from their airspace BBC Link to 2018 article The Isle of Man is under a number of flight paths and it was bliss during lockdown to have peace at night (yes ok, I can be a light sleeper) and Christmas too, but that was rudely shattered at 5:13am this morning. All those chem trail too eh. I think Tynwald should tell UK to hang a left or a right when their aeroplanes approach the Isle of Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
