I beg to differ as I mentor young entrepreneurs to seek out opportunity wherever it is. These youngsters will guide the destiny of the UK and the rest of the world. The WWW and social media has opened to globe up entirely. Competitive edge and opportunity is there for them. Freedom of travel and freedom to trade is essential if they are to compete.EnjoyingTheSun wrote: ↑Sun 07 Feb 2021 8:44 pmI’m not obsessed with the subject so I won’t.

In an earlier post of a few days ago you mentioned that the U.K. had lost 68% of its exports to the EU. So where did you get this information? I only mention this because today, with little research I have found that those reports are being highlighted as absolute rubbish. So is it true, partially true, completely untrue? Personally I find the figure of 68% extremely high as to be not believable.

First I have noted the 7 point plan for Cyprus as put forward by the UK, I have also noted the normal rhetoric put out by the ROC who only want everything as normal. However, it is looking possible that a workable plan will come out this time and that would entail both the North and the South being full members of the EU! Should that happen then all people living in Cyprus would be either automatically EU citizens or face a timescale during which they would either have to become EU citizens or leave!
My question then is easy: Should the North gain full membership of the EU would those non EU citizens who live here apply to become EU citizens?

As for the 7 point plan - https://www.yeniduzen.com/ingiltereden- ... 36914h.htm there you go, freely available on the local news! Don’t forget to read the Cyprus Mail as well to get a better picture of what is happening in the RoC.

Its only 50/50 if you give the full parameters
Can I stay has a 3rd country national ?
Can I apply to stay has a resident?
Do I have to leave unless I become dual national?
How much would the golden passport cost?
No such thing as an EU citizen. You would have to apply to become a citizen of the RoC or whatever the country would be called.waddo wrote: ↑Mon 08 Feb 2021 4:28 pmWhat a can of worms I opened with questions that I have not really had an answer to, despite over 200 posts on the subject.

You obviously chose to ignore my previous post .....
I’ve copied again for you....
You are just like a broken record.
Tell me this.....what actual benefits did you assume would happen in the first 5 weeks of Brexit? You have just said you haven’t seen any new benefits since Brexit!! Yet you care not to debate the vaccine programme. Is this because it doesn’t suit your anti Brexit agenda?
Only today a leading German MP has come out heavily criticising the EU and the way it’s shambolic handling of the whole vaccine program.
The main reason it’s been such a shambles is the huge amount of beurocracy attached to it.
In the middle of this monumental World struggle Britain is leading the way ( you brush this off) and come back with Britain’s death toll. Yet London is the top stopover in the World. The uk had over 60 million more people come through its borders than France yet France isn’t that far behind the UK and it’s numbers are still increasing.
No European Country gets anywhere near the numbers of people through its borders that the UK get.
Could we have done better? Yes absolutely....and now we are doing better....!!!

I believe we've discussed the difficulties post Brexit of landing in Larnaca and then travelling North. Larnaca has for many years been a preferred point of entry. Now its is unlikely to remain so.PoshinDevon wrote: ↑Sun 07 Feb 2021 11:35 pmWaz
More difficult to visit Cyprus???
Errr......buy a ticket, get on a plane, land at an airport.
Make sure you have a passport tho. Sorry if that is difficult, no wonder you are fretting.
In this pandemic different countries may have introduced different rules for travel and entry but that has nothing to do with Brexit. Best to check before buying a ticket.
By the way our young people voted leave. Maybe for you that means they were not young enough? If your mentoring these young people you speak of then I am worried.
To be honest most young people I talk to hardly ever mention Brexit or the EU, they have moved on. They do talk about Covid 19 a lot tho and how that is impacting them. That’s the good thing about being young, it’s about what’s impacting now.... Covid is all the talk, Brexit is not.

Upon Young people. I am yet to get any youngster positivity from becoming non European, being restricted upon travel and freedom of movement reduces competitiveness in any employment market. In the modern environment any VISA FREE travel and FREE TRADE is an absolute positive in business particularly.
The 68% was presented by UK logistics firms within the Road haulage association. I think the figure is possible exaggerated to air the frustrations.
What is certain is exports via road train are depressed.

You are obsessed with everything being difficult. It simply is not. Travel will not be difficult unless you want to make it so.
Young people - Like I said if you are mentoring them I would be worried. My son, daughter, son in law, daughter in law, friends son, friends daughter and many other young people I know and speak to are not obsessed with Brexit, they simply are not that bothered. Us oldies may see that as being naive, but maybe they just live in the now and don’t worry or overthink. All that matters to them is Covid, the impact on them working, their jobs, studies, not being able to visit or stay with family or friends, not going out partying or meeting at the pub. That’s what they concern themselves about. Brexit is hardly ever mentioned in conversation. I find that very positive and signals to me that they will get on with their lives no matter what.
The 68% number you plucked from somewhere is very exaggerated... still not seen your official link to where the information came from. The port of Dover information does have a link and my contacts at a senior level in business do not share your gloomy predictions. Like the young people they are getting on with life and promoting and growing there business.
Another announcement made today.... The UK has now agreed either continuity agreements or new trade agreements with over 90 nations across the globe since leaving the European Union last year. Positive news again.
One month into a new trading relationship is where we are. Come back in 40 years and if it’s not working we can all agree leaving the EU was a mistake.
