There's walibi farming in Holland. Just a tip if you're looking for an excuse 😂

[@robwhythe793]

But such a declaration does have a legal implication: If it looks dodgy and is found to be false when investigated, the originator can be held accountable. That will mean either the company being blocked from future trading, or the country of origin being slapped with new tariffs. Such a declaration may look useless to you, but it has evidentiary status and can be crucial in a court decision.

You should make a video about The change of how tax is collected from the uk. I work for a logistics company and as of the 7/1/21 we have not received any freight from the EU. This is mainly due to 3 things. 1. Most business bombarded the uk with goods in December (we never been that busy) to make sure they could get the stock in tariff free. 2. Eu is struggling with the mass increase in paperwork as before good did not need proof of origin or even a customer invoice. 3. A lot of businesses are now not shipping to the uk as HRMC not demand tax from Point of sale. This mean businesses in EU need UK tax account and will need to provide tax statements for both their country and the UK.

I know the Irish border has always been a hot topic during Brexit negotiations but does anyone know what’s going to happen with Akrotiri and Dhekelia in Cyprus (British Overseas Territory) ??

[@sircoloniser5454]

Stay as they are

[@Adderkleet]

Overseas Territories were not considered "part of the EU" (France's ones still are not considered part of the EU). So there should be no major change. Thankfully.

[@drayle71]

from my understanding of them they are military bases more then anything else and as long as the brits want to pay for them and the gov of Cyprus is happy the accept the money it isn't much of an issue. The reason the Irish border is complicated is well the Troubles and fear of them returning but also the border is a mess. The border today was originally meant to be provisional and redrawn after going around it and seeing it impact on people aka towns where the border is in the middle of it or cut through a farmers land. but that was never done so its a messy (in many ways) border that has never really been enforced before. Most of the modern British overseas Territories have very defined borders and are very much policed and marked out under agreements with the countries they are in

[@snowcold5932]

[@lvoldum]

Akrotiri and Dhekelia have their own protocol in the Withdrawal Agreement. To put it simply, they're chiefly considered EU territory, so that locals working there can move freely and food and other necessities can come in.
