there could definitely be issues with food in the case of a no deal, (depending on our WTO schedule it could go the other way and we could be flooded with imported food).
Stocking up now is a bit over the top to say the least.
If there's one thing I don't think we'll have a shortage of in this country it's water, and as for clothes, how bad would it have to cause people to run out of clothes?!

All my clothes shrunk over christmas, especially around the midriff. Is this to do with brexit?
You won’t go far wrong with clean pants whatever happens.

could be, or it could be you're a greedy bastard.
No, but if some predictions are right you may be a Brexit winner when they all fit you again.

It is what will happen during the transitional period. But of course it will be something different to you.
Your link: The Commission says these measures should not compare with EU membership, or the transition period on offer in the Withdrawal Agreement - which the UK Parliament has yet to vote on.

1, When I said it would be the same as being in the EU you said it was different. You was also going to say why it was different. But still waiting.
2, Read the link you put up. It says about border checks as you can make your own trade deals. I thought you always read links you put up.

So what will change in the transitional period?

Nothing. That is unless you listen to someone who wants you to believe that we will crash and burn though.

That’s a contingency plan not a transitional period.

The example is the Sweden/Norway border. Free movement of people, cars are rarely stopped unless they trigger an NPR camera and goods lorries are stopped randomly but seldom by customs. It’s not some great unknown littered with issues and it solves the Northern Ireland border issue in one swoop.

That’s because it is.
No. It isn’t it says clearly that the measures will not be as good as having a transition period. Read your own links.
Little, but we lose that if it is no deal. Which is what you want and makes life more difficult, but not impossible. Another great Brexit benefit next to French made blue passports with less power, or a commemorative 50p for use in the toilets. And you say some people still think leave is better than staying. You really have been led up the garden path.

So why won't it be as good?
The EU has said hardly anything will change. Should we make it so things do change before negotiations are finished? All this is during the transitional period. The EU says for 1 to 2 years.
I‘ll bring food packages when I come back in April. Plenty of Sauerkraut as it has vitamins to keep the scurvy at bay.

when you set your WTO schedule you have to set it for all your trading partners.
Set it too high and it won't be worth foreign suppliers exporting, set it to low and we can be flooded with cheap imports and damage local production so it's a case of getting as balance.
That's one of the reasons why people do trade deals because they're a lot more flexible and only apply to the partner you've singed the deal with.
The government has already submitted one schedule , (which basically sets out your proposed tariffs), but it's been rejected. It only takes one other WTO member to say no and it's rejected though you can appeal but they can be costly and time consuming, I think there's one tariff dispute that's been going on for 20 years.
That's why the whole world spends a lot of time and money trying to get away from WTO schedules where possible and signing up to trading blocs and trade deals. The whole world apart from us, who are on the verge of throwing away membership of the worlds biggest trading bloc and the myriad of trade deals that gives us access to.
This is a bit of a simplified explanation of a very complicated issue but it's the best I can do!!
No it doesn’t. It says if there is no deal certain things will be extended 9 months, 1 year or 2 years, but it will be nowhere near as good as if they accept the deal with a transition period. In other words only the essential things such as air travel, lorry licenses, and financial transactions with derivatives.
There will be no Transition Period in no deal. That is why they call it no deal. The transition period is dependent on a deal. It’s in the deal which will be rejected tonight.
Enjoy.

The transition period is comprehensive and will be implemented over a longer period. A contingency plan is a number of short term fixes because there is no transitional period.

Eu said 1year no change didn’t they? For no deal.

Not according to Astute’s link. They made it quite clear that the contingency plans wouldn’t be the same as the transition period.
Heiko Maas has said there would be more talks if May loses, but no significant concessions. Maybe they would keep more things going if article 50 was extended.

So you say that the deal will not be accepted but you want to talk about what will happen when the deal is accepted?
I will say it again. Hardly anything will change with us and the EU whilst talks are ongoing on a trade deal. They have said nothing will change because it would cause harm to the remaining countries in the EU. That makes it also sound as though they will want a trade deal.
So onto food. We produce 50% of what we consume. 30% comes from the EU. The next highest will be 4%. We already trade So this will continue. Or would someone like to point out why it won't.
The reason it was spoken about was queues at ferry ports. But the EU wants it to continue. They don't want the north of France to suffer badly as it would if there are problems. Or are those that always defend them now saying that they are lying?
Just another project fear for now although nothing can be guaranteed in the future.

What contingency plans? Is that for what won't happen?
The EU has said nothing will change. Don't you believe them?

Exactly. But Mart likes to muddy the water with his drivel.
