Nigel, dear chap. I think it's rather a good thing that the EU doesn't allow GM food and chlorine chicken.
Don't you?
As for coffee, so we get it direct instead of via the EU. Have a little think, Nige. It means just the one tariff for us whichever way you do it, yeah? So what's yer point?


No, I don't think it's a good thing that the EU bans imports of all GM foods, and of Chlorine-washed chicken ('Chlorine chicken' surely has no real meaning, except for your understanding).
As for coffee, Norway imposes no tariffs (presumably they've worked out that they don't produce their own) The EU impose several variable tariffs. See Here

If you don't understand the matter of import tariffs then continuing to claim that we get stuff "Tariff Free" within the EU shows a lamentable lack of understanding.
