THE FRUGAL FOUR’S POSITION ON THE RECOVERY FUND

Austria, the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden reject any instruments or measures leading to debt mutualization and any significant increase in the EU budget and propose a “loans for loans” approach in which the borrowed funds would be distributed as short-term loans, on favorable terms but on the basis of a “thorough needs assessment” and accompanied by “strong commitments” by the recipients to “reforms and the fiscal framework,” to support activities that would contribute to the recovery such as research and innovation, enhanced resilience in the health sector, and activities supporting the

TARIFFS AND QUOTAS IN THE EVENT OF A NO DEAL WITH THE UK

If a deal can’t be agreed with the EU, then the UK will default to World Trade Organization (WTO) terms from 1 January 2021. The UK would have to apply tariffs and quotas to goods coming into the country from the EU, and the EU would apply its “third-country” tariffs and quotas to the UK. That means the UK would be hit by big taxes when it tried to sell products to the EU market. The bloc’s average WTO tariffs are 11.1% for agricultural goods, 15.7% for animal products and 35.4% for dairy.
