The deal – which will grant EU fishers access to British waters for an additional 12 years – will remove checks on a significant number of food products as well as a deeper defence partnership and agreements on carbon taxes.

The UK said the deal would make “food cheaper, slash red tape, open up access to the EU market”. But the trade-off for the deal was fishing access and rights for an additional 12 years – more than the UK had offered – which is likely to lead to cries of betrayal from the industry.

The two sides will also begin talks for a “youth experience scheme”, first reported in the Guardian, which could allow young people to work and travel freely in Europe again and mirror existing schemes the UK has with countries such as Australia and New Zealand.

The government said it would put £360m of modernisation support back into coastal communities as part of the deal, a tacit acknowledgment of the concession.

You are asking for ambiguity

Eh?

Eh

Yeah bad wording on my part. Sorry I'm working on multiple things ATM.

I ment you are seeing ambiguity that is not there.

As I explained else where. The rest of the media and even fararge in another news article last night. Seems to disagree that this deal meets any Brexit claim.

They see no abniguity in this meaning all UK food production domestic and export. Must continue meet EU equive standards to ensure less documentation is needed.

It has after all been the crux of the UK EU trade issue from day one.

I haven't seen any of that. Other people haven't experienced the same things you have. Other people don't have the same knowledge you do. That's why it's on you to back up what you're saying by showing others what you experienced (read, watched, whatever) so that they can verify that what you're saying is true. It isn't on other people to experience their life the way you experience yours and you can't assume that they do.

Reference?

Now it is impossible to decide if you are genuinely stupid or a troll.

Asking to reference a lack of ambiguity. After I have posted multiple explanations of exactly how the phrase aligned standards can only mean the standards used to produce and regulate UK food production must match. Yet you have not managed challenge a single one.

Yeah go shove your own head up your arse you troll.

Asking to reference a lack of ambiguity

I haven't asked to reference a lack of ambiguity, I've asked for a reference to some source showing "the rest of the media and even fararge" see things the way you do, as you claim.

You haven't provided any reference to back up anything whatsoever you've said in this thread.

After I have posted multiple explanations

As I said, your explanations are irrelevant to me. They're full of holes. From my perspective, you're not a rigorous thinker. The only thing that will convince me is some other source which clearly shows that the agreement is referring to domestic sales. Without that, all I see is noise.
