UK will struggle on free-trade deals, EU says
By EUobserver
The UK will struggle to get decent trade deals after Brexit and British food prices will surge if there is a no-deal departure, EU agriculture commissioner Phil Hogan said in Australia Thursday. The EU market of 500m customers "will always resonate more with a third country" than the British one of 65m, he said. No-deal UK border checks on EU imports would see a "major increase in food prices".
