they shouldn't be allowed to regulate themselves and i think part of the problem is it's like the wild west because marijuana is still illegal on a federal level so until marijuana is legalized on a federal level and there's a uniform system of nationwide regulation of this industry it's continued going to continue to be piecemeal it's going to continue to be what states want to do state by state county by county if you will community because by community so until you all the states are just going to continue to take different approaches and make those limited number of licenses even more valuable so in order to really get to the root of this problem legalizing marijuana the federal level establishing that uniform system of nationwide regulation would help address some of those corruption issues provide safety and business standards like any other industry to maintain and for us i mean this is a $52000000000.00 industry it's like the wild west they're all going to be trying to grab a piece of this 5 until somebody says i you can't do that and there's some regulation and accountability trans

it could turn into a bit of a wild west.any organisations, but the eu, when they say they are going to put a charge against us, for supposedly breaking some eu rules, it normally takes 2—3 years to resolve those. i think germany is currently the country with the most unresolved complaints against him for breach of single market rules. and the number in ireland, the republic of ireland, over the last 12 months was the biggest increase. they take 2—3 years to resolve so i wouldn't be surprised if the bto doesn't take about the same. this one could run and run. thank you very much. business groups have welcomed the decision to keep talking in the hope of getting a trade deal before the transition period runs out in just over a fortnight. but there's also frustration at the effect of the continuing uncertainty. our business correspondent katy austin reports. from car—makers to farmers, for business the wait for clarity goes on. the sussex —based porridge and snacks farmers scouting possible new storage space in spain because of
