| Apr 6, 2021 at 16:45 | comment | added | phoog | @Jontia that article concerns the continuity of application of existing EU trade deals to the UK after its departure from the EU, not the renegotiation of those deals nor the establishment of new deals. | |
| Mar 7, 2021 at 10:09 | comment | added | Jontia | @JoeC that doesn't seem quite right, given the UK announced a number of deals in 2019. Before leaving | |

| Mar 7, 2021 at 9:36 | comment | added | James K | @Jontia other countries were unwilling to enter into substantive negotiations until the nature of the trade between the UK and EU was clarified | |
| Mar 7, 2021 at 9:35 | comment | added | James K | In the case of Japan, the trade deal came into effect only after the UK had voted to leave. There is no Free trade deal between the EU and India. So this deal with the UK would seem to fully answer your question. It is a long way short of a comprehensive trade agreement. I didn't mention South Korea. | |
| Mar 7, 2021 at 9:21 | comment | added | WS2 | But we had agreements with Japan and South Korea as EU members. I am asking what possible value added has been achieved by leaving the EU. | |
| Mar 7, 2021 at 9:04 | comment | added | Jontia | Hasn't the UK already had years to negotiate these agreements? They were able to do this prior to leaving the EU with deals to start after exit/transition right? | |
