    Default German car bosses demand UK be allowed to continue trading with tthe EU tariff free

    As I and many others predicted, German car bosses will not allow a bad deal, it will hurt them very badly. BMW sells 17% of their entire car production to the UK! Germany sells more cars to Britain than to any other country, with 810,000 exported last year.


    • German car-making industry said punishing Britain makes no sense
    • Angela Merkel called on to give the UK a favourable trade deal after Brexit
    • Eurosceptics argue it's not in EU’s interests to force tariffs on UK imports


    German manufacturers last night demanded that Britain be allowed to continue trading with the EU without any barriers. The car-making industry said punishing Britain makes no sense – and it called on the German chancellor to give the UK a favourable trade deal. Eurosceptics have repeatedly argued it is not in the EU’s interests to bring in tariffs as the UK imports more from Europe than it exports, and any weakening of the British economy would also have a ripple effect on Europe. Matthias Wissmann, of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), said: ‘Even if many “experts” are competing to paint the worst possible scenario, now is the time for calmness.
