    Brexit has to be one of the worst own goals of all time.

      Brexit has destroyed a few carbon intensive and environmentally unsound businesses. I’m pretty sure Germany cosying up to Russia for cheap energy and China for exports is a much bigger own goal.

              And the VDA – the lobby group for Germany’s car industry – added to pressure on the EU Commission earlier by saying “we must urgently make adjustments” to the Brexit deal.

    So, better than nothing, not as good as it was.

      Divergence in nuclear and low orbit satellites, which are both growth sectors.

      Best reason to diverge is for competitive advantage, so it seems a reasonable strategy.

      As vdl said herself, sometimes it’s better to be a speedboat than a tanker.

        Hard to argue with that. Sometimes speedboats are better. We have yet to see any major benefits from divergence though, so far it’s pretty much only caused problems.

          Apart from being out of the CAP and CFP, which are environmental disasters.

            Disagree on the CFP. It’s far from perfect but it’s improving all the time and there is no alternative. The CFP has helped bring back fish stocks from the brink.

            Don’t know much about the CAP though, but from what I understand it’s subsidising farmers to make sure we still have farming in the EU.

              The CFP has been shit. For decades. Over fishing. Quotas not based on fish stocks. Bycatch and discards. It’s been going on for far too long.

              https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/reports/2021/03/lessons-from-implementation-of-the-eus-common-fisheries-policy

              The CAP has been even more shit. For decades. Totally incapable of being reformed and it takes the largest slice of the budget and rewards bad farming methods and subsidises rich land owners to pollute.

              https://unearthed.greenpeace.org/2016/09/29/common-agricultural-policy-millions-eu-subsidies-go-richest-landowners/

              It’s purpose was supposed to be to feed Europeans during hard times. It’s failed to do that at its first real test. Food inflation in the EU has been huge since Russia’s invasion.

              It is broken.

              We analyzed the distribution of €59.4 billion of 2015 CAP payments and show that current CAP spending exacerbates income inequality within agriculture, while little funding supports climate-friendly and biodiverse farming regions. More than €24 billion of 2015 CAP direct payments went to regions where average farm incomes are already above the EU median income. A further €2.5 billion in rural development payments went to primarily urban areas. Effective monitoring indicators are also missing.

              https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590332220303559

              The EU also wasted 66bn, the entirety of the UK’s net contribution for that period, on failed policy to halt biodiversity loss
