I am trying to engage in sensible discussion. You have recently posted about paperwork, visas, permits restrictions on travel etc for U.K. citizens travelling to Europe. When questioned and asked for evidence you confirm none of this is in place and you have no evidence to suggest it will be implemented. You even suggest that I have been hoodwinked but provide no real reason as to why.
Can you not see why some may think this is your version of project fear?
I acknowledge that things will be different after the 31 Dec and despite the last four years, will look forward positively. It’s democracy in action.
As I have said on many occasions. The key point is that you will no longer have a right of free passage into or through other EU states.
My own fear as a regular EU business and social traveller is that there could be many differing requirements as each EU country makes up its own set of entry criteria.
Any delay in business is a cost and barriers to doing business however small are not helpful.
I refer you therefore to the government website for guidance upon your specific request on visas etc..it remains complex. Businesses guidance is there too but that will be of little interest. Suffice to say. the advice is empty, without plan or structure and basically of no help whatsoever.
All the advice from government is rather vague as even they do not know what others will require in the form of requirements. I note that Cyprus is one such destination which requirements remains uncertain.
Now many will take little regard to this issue. Many on this forum are non contributors to the UK economy and therefore have little interest. However, many thousands of UK businesses face these obstacles that have been thrust upon them by , in my view, persons who have been unwittingly hoodwinked into believing we are better off.
Yes . I understand that some may see project fear. However the fact is clear. It is not business as usual.
It is not in my view a positive outcome that will enhance trade with my customers in Europe or for UK personel living in the EU that seek employment.
Before anyone says it..YES ..The UK has left the EU.
