CE mark after Brexit

mapj1
If spotting dodgy imports of dangerous light fittings etc was not already hard to do, and quite contentious, it seems that after Christmas, as well as CE documentation, we may be expecting to find UKCA or maybe UK(NI) marks depending where you live, as of course anything coming in from Europe will now count as an import, and the person bringing or mail ordering it into the UK will become responsible for the import paperwork.

 link    I predict getting spare parts for non UK made equipment via a legitimate route may get a bit harder than it currently is.

    I don't think they will change much Chris. The EU doesn't want to lose our trade of imports, which are much greater than our exports, particularly in manufactured goods. To fail to come to agreement seems to be stupid beyond measure on their part, and their objections are clearly aimed at controlling us rather than trade. If they don't agree then they will lose the large export market for cars, wine, vegetables, bacon etc, all of which are cheaper from elsewhere. They want to stop our financial services, but that will die the death as London is the largest money shop in the world, and there are not many other places to go, possibly except New York, but they like Americans even less than Brits, so that won't happen!
