Due to improvements in efficiency/technology, The N Sea oil companies are making more profit today at $60 per barrel than the did previously at $100+. The opportunity to restructure the tax regime is available for new fields is there. Norway earned £7 billion form N sea taxes and licenses and £9 billion from its state-owned industry share and dividends in 2016 from a little less than twice the UK's output, whereas the UK made a loss - that should tell you about the missed opportunities.

jake Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Headline different from content in so much as he says the EU was not essential further into the piece. Does anyone who knows more about the working of the good Friday agreement agree with this. I'd obviously like to hear from those on the remain side that disagree with his point of view. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-42412972 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 44 minutes ago, jake said: Headline different from content in so much as he says the EU was not essential further into the piece. No it isn't. He says that the EU was not essential in the talks themselves (true, because the EU had pretty much no role in the talks) but that the negotiations themselves would never have taken place outside of the Union. To understand that, you should read paragraph 3 of the Downing Street Declaration, which was issued jointly in December 1993 by the PM and the Taoiseach of the day, John Major and Albert Reynolds. The Declaration went on to be a central element of the Good Friday Agreement, and paragraph 3 recognised the position of Ireland and the UK as partners in the EU. The Good Friday Agreement, the political process involving the parties in NI, Britain and Ireland, and the peaceful co-existence that flows from those are all built on the fact that there is no visible or apparent border on this island. If such a border were to come into existence then the free movement of people and goods around this island would stop, and thousands of cross-border economic, social, cultural and political linkages in existence would be cut off. This would lead to both economic damage and a collapse of political co-operation, and almost inevitably the vacuum created would be filled by paramilitarism, republican and loyalist.

Thanks for good reply. I do think the headline misleading. Although we can never know I do think the political will at the time would have seen the same results without the EU.

You have no good reason for thinking the headline was misleading. The headline points exactly to what was said in the article. You can never know what would have happened, but George Mitchell can. And without Ireland and the UK both being members of the EU it would simply have been impossible to reach the agreement that they did. Biases are neither here nor there. What's important is that the deal has worked, and that it is secured into the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Border Control people would I think be less inclined to dish out antibiotics and anti-depressant drugs on the scale that has created a bit of an epidemic in the UK. And GPs would doubtless be more friendly than Border Control people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
