@Arron_banks Cause and effect, the more obese the higher the risk of diabetes. Shall we prevent healthcare professionals from treating overweight people, fatty?

@AllieRenison @wolfiem80 It is. If all testing is done to international protocols and with full results transparency much of this can be taken over by the EMA (or other approval bodies), but that is not the case with Sputnik unfortunately.

@vivamjm It's not right to call these effects "disappointing". This word suggests that the effects could not have reasonably been foreseen. They were, however, by several people, including yourself. If @BBCNews is surprised, it is because they did not investigate properly at the time.

@Jim_Cornelius The comment about the "Alliance of British Entrepreneurs" was sarcastic, as our account was formed during the referendum campaign, when this agitator began to make claims on behalf of British entrepreneurs that reflected in no way our circle of mostly genuine entrepreneurs.

@Jim_Cornelius Engagement is low indeed; most businesses we share the thoughts of are not avid Twitterers, nor keen to have their companies exposed on Twitter. We meet (virtually these days), once every quarter and we try to share some concerns after those meetings.

RoO are potentially a huge problem for many small manufacturers. We have spoken to several in the last few days who do not know if the level of value they add to goods purchased in the EU qualify for minimum processing thresholds, potentially causing problems re-exporting (+NI)

Rules of origin are not insurmountable for business, but they can render a "tariff-free" trade deal meaningless for companies if it's just easier to deal w/the tariff than proving origin or adjusting components - esp. when starting from a position of having none for UK-EU trade

Not the easiest to follow, but for those interested in the big picture of trade relations between US, EU and China this exchange between @alanbeattie and @IanaDreyer is an essential read. Real debate on key issues, and good points on both sides.

@DavidHenigUK It's pointless taking about "services" as one product anyway. Excluding transport, travel and banking, the "real" services that were exported to the EU were over 50% of the total (and nearly 60% imported)

Businesses are also worried that after all these delays some document errors may still cause delays at the border. Even customs agents are struggling to instruct customers well, claiming that it is a learning curve for them, too.

We have received numerous reports of small businesses struggling to import goods from the EU. It is still difficult and increasingly expensive to get road haulage capacity, as many hauliers are avoiding the UK.
