They don't have the cost of horlding stacks of foreign currency to sell when the Euro is their currency. The commission won't be much to you when its just for a bit of spending money. But think how much it will be to British Manufacturers who don't have the advantage of being in the same currency. Crucially not knowing what the future rate of exchange will be when they come to sell their goods. Many good companies have failed for no other reason than guessing wrongly what future exchange rates will be. Now they don't know what trade barriers there will be either, which is the killer blow for many. PS: I take it you are still not able to name one factory setting up in Britain because of Brexit?

John52 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 pelmetman - 2018-11-13 8:59 AM When Michelin closed plants in America was that due to Brexit? *-) ......... There was no equivalent to Brexit in the United Staes because there wasn't one state leaving to have trade barriers with all the others. Of all the European plants why are they closing the one that is leaving the common market? They say its not due to Brexit but then "they would say that wouldn;'t they" Its a basic marketing thing. They still want to sell tyres - to both sides Brexiteers and Remainers. So they won't want to offend Brexiteers by admitting ithey chose the UK plant to close because it would have been the only one behind trade barriers.

So they'll be the wrong side of the tariff barrier ;-) .......... I also note that they're not planning on shutting until 2020 :-| .........

You mean the tarrif barrier you Brexiteers set up to hinder component supplies and close UK factories? Thats not going to bother Michelin is it?

I detect a flaw in your argument UK Plc can't supply what we have to import So import taxes will just be added on to prices at our expense And the expense of factories who import components So they wil continue to move to the EU Have you managed to come up with a factory coming to Britain because of Brexit yet *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
