spent twenty four hours was one of them facing the new realities of post breaks in britain. this is the business as in berlin welcome. today is the day or it would have been that britain wanted to leave the e.u. but with the british political class so more concerned about political infighting and economic sanity the date has been moved to a. prospect of a no deal breaker still not completely off the table but his trade negotiators need to set agreements in place around the world to ensure trade can continue smoothly let's have a look at where britain stands right now as a member of the youth the u.k. currently is part of around forty deals around with partners around the world covering a total of seventy two countries those deals account for around fifteen percent of britain's overseas trade but if the u.k. leaves the you without a deal of bullying mediately drop out of those agreements so to avoid losing out of

the event of a heartbreak that it needs to take some action i wish we could show you the graphics but of handing over the wall has just left us so far the u.k. has only arranged so-called continuities agreements to cover eight of those existing trade deals that means there are still thirty two still on the go should so businesses in britain have a lot of preparation to do without knowing what exactly to prepare for and they are not alone a new report by p.m.g. of the british chapter of commerce in germany suggests businesses elsewhere in the e.u. are too struggling to. ready in time for whatever briggs it will look like. putting aside talk of having one's cake and eating it german confection is it just some of the european traders who want they could struggle with a disorderly breck's it the result of a survey published on thursday suggests forty seven percent of german firms with interests in the u.k. are underprepared for what its departure from the e.u. could bring. with us is stricken position and that's alarming certainly it also

reflects the uncertainty of a situation in which all scenarios is still on the table as of today that it is difficult for companies to prepare for all of those scenarios and therefore hoping for a political solution and in particular that there will be a long a transition period in which companies can prepare for specific scenarios we were going so far as a call it is it will move forward. not one of the one hundred one companies question for the survey said it was planning to increase its presence in britain thirteen percent said if the u.k. left the without a deal they would move operations to germany that's one of many ifs that have left german traders desperate francis when will be the brakes it what shall we do in between what will happen with the european parliament election what will happen with the daily business of entrepreneurialism of exporters but also for

all the three million european continental people working on the u.k. side the result with the british parliament apparently still some distance from answering those questions six aspiration of european businesses was perhaps summed up by german m.e.p. yen sky corrected sorry your board of directors or to death. now. from our business desk has been looking into this story for us. if britain has had three years to look into all of this have they done enough with regard to try. deals no you have to say they haven't so eat existing either member the u.k. benefits just the same way as every other e.u. member does by virtue of the fact that the e.u. has forty trade agreements with over seventy different countries around the world so in theory the plan that britain has had for the last two years would be as soon as they leave the e.u. they can retain the benefits of those existing agreements that's nothing to do with new agreements that simply retaining what's already there out of those forty

they've only managed to agree eight so far and of those eight a lot of those are with what could be described as fairly small fry sorts countries like the farrow islands a small group of pacific islands the largest of those eight continuity agreements will be with switzerland and even talk to you as to some question marks over whether it's actually the same as existing here why is it was it so difficult these continue to deals what it's basically. used to be part of the e.u. let's take this copy and paste this into next steal sign it and we're done was it's a completely sounds wonderful easy in theory hard but unfortunate much more complicated because of the fact that because the u.k. is no longer going to be in the e.u. it's a different market before it was access to a market of five hundred million people now it's access to a market of sixty five million with potentially a greatly changed relationship with the e.u. so because of that these countries for example like switzerland or in other cases like japan and turkey where they've already said they're simply not going to do continuity deals they think they can get better terms from the u.k.
9:36 am
why should they simply copy and paste and get what for them would be a war state when they can get a new deal they've got far greater leverage they can benefit far more so from their perspective they're thinking let's wait and see what happens with brags that in the end and then let's see what kind of terms we can extract from you can post brags that the leave complain in britain always said that they're going to be new deals with for example the us a donald trump has said we're going to have a beautiful trade deal with the u.k. so what's happening on that front well as you said during the leave compan the whole thing was take control of the obviously means different things. different people and the big thing that a lot of the most ardent bags of tears said was we're going to take control of trade deals and in theory that sounds wonderful go to india one week go to america the next we go to canada the next and get deals everywhere and yes trump has spoken very brightly about this and he said oh we'll do this deal and it would be so easy but it's really much more complicated than that and actually just very recently the interesting when the u.s. trade representative they published what is their negotiating aims for any talks
9:37 am
with the u.k. and in those aims they laid out extremely clarity that they are not going to be sympathetic or in any way nice to the you can disregard they've said specifically in this paper they want to have reduced barriers for agricultural products and other meat and food products that includes things like fluorinated chicken hormone injected beef stuff that's been hugely controversial in the e.u. so the like what someone said to me last week i interviewed them trade negotiators are not sentimental it's all about what i can get what you can get and it's about money in the end of the sullivan thank you very much. as hopes of an orderly breaks it have faded the european commission has been preparing for a no deal breaker plans regarding border check needed goods coming from the u.k. that was necessary was necessary during the membership of the european union but a no deal price it would mean that british products like will potatoes would have peace would have to be subject to e.u. standards checks so you have struck up
