Eu Bureaucracy

kind: There is some kind of bureaucratic obstacle that stops us selling them in the US because they are allegedly too low, he said, according to The Guardian. The comments echoed Johnson's use of a kipper in the Tory leadership campaign to bemoan EU bureaucracy though the rule in question subsequently turned out to be a British one. Speaking to reporters en route to the G7 summit in the French town of Biarritz, Johnson listed a string of British products, from cars to cauliflowers and pork pies to rulers, which he claimed faced unnecessary export barriers in the US. You may not know this, but there are currently restrictions on the sale of British-made shower trays to the US. We've sold 250,000 shower trays around the world. There are tariffs on cars, there are tariffs on railway carriages in the US of 14%, whereas we only have a tariff of 1.7% in the UK on American railway carriages arriving here, Johnson said. Not a morsel of British beef has entered the US market, he added. It's not just beef or lamb that is currently banned from entering the US in spite of their commitment to overturn that prohibition in 2014. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
