| Apparently, per capita, Norway pays the same for access to the single market as the UK pays at the moment so there may be no savings at all with a "Norwegian model". Additionally, the Norwegian - EU trade deal doesn't cover food and drink and there are tariffs on those. I was talking to someone I know who is a farmer in N Ireland, fairly close to the border. Currently milk is shipped from N Ireland to a processing plant in the Republic and most of the processed products then go to the UK market. Under a "Norwegian model", there would be tariffs in both directions. |
