        A new study simulates the effects of eight different Brexit scenarios on the German and EU economy.

        Germany has delivered an ominous message to British negotiators in impending Brexit talks by insisting that even the worst-case scenario would be bearable for the EU.

        Germany’s Economy Minister Brigitte Zypries said Friday that “even in the most adverse case,” Brexit would be “bearable for the EU economy and in particular for the German economy.”

        Zypries said that a new study by Germany’s ifo institute, commissioned by her ministry, pointed to “economic opportunities and risks.”

        While Zypries said Germany would seek “the best results” from talks, her appraisal of a bearable hard Brexit is bad news for hardline Brexiteers. They have often argued that Europe’s leading economies would ultimately cut a soft deal through fear of losing access to Britain’s large consumer market, in sectors ranging from cars to food.

        The study simulates the effects of eight different Brexit scenarios on the German and the EU economy.

        In the most positive scenario with a comprehensive free trade deal between the EU and the U.K., the study predicts a long-term output loss from a pre-Brexit trajectory of 0.1 percent for the EU and 0.6 percent for the U.K.

        In the scenario where the U.K. and the EU fail to strike a trade deal and fall back on World Trade Organization rules, the study predicts the U.K. economy would lose 1.7 percent of economic output over the long-term, while German and EU GDP would be 0.2 percent and 0.3 percent below their previous pre-Brexit trajectories, respectively.

            LOL..look at the last paragraph......Below what?


            Whatever the EU would be down.....It would be down the percentage of the economies of 26 member countries....That is a lot of dosh as it would not be evenly spread across every member Country....

            As I have said before.......Who's economy will be sacrificed on the economists figures that it would be a pittance.....

            The small economies could be hit extremely hard even by such distorted low figures....

            But, everybody believes an economist...LOL

            • I do hope that Member Countries can trust People from other member Countries who have their own Countries interests at heart to negotiate on their behalf......

              I certainly would not......

              I await events with interest.......But not with trepidation.....

                Theresa May is facing a Brexit revolt this week with potentially dire consequences for health care and energy supply — but it probably isn’t the one you think.

                The big parliamentary action is the introduction of the government’s Repeal Bill Thursday, which is intended to download EU law into the U.K. statute book. Backbenchers are poised with a parade of amendments to change the course of Britain’s departure from the EU.

                But the other Brexit revolt on the cards this week concerns one of the many aspects of leaving the EU that didn’t receive any airtime during the referendum campaign last year.

                As the prime minister confirmed in January, Brexit also means “Brexatom,” or withdrawal from the European Atomic Energy Community, Euratom — a move that has led to fears that Britain’s lights might go out and cancer patients could be left without treatment.

                The 60-year-old Euratom pre-dates the EU and, among other things, makes sure countries don’t use their nuclear materials for weapons, manages nuclear fuel supply, allows workers and equipment to move freely, and funds research and innovation.

                Those are crucial functions for the U.K., home to the world’s biggest stockpile of civil plutonium and 15 nuclear reactors made up of parts sent from EU members and countries that have nuclear cooperation agreements with Euratom. MPs will debate the issue in parliament on Wednesday morning.

                Leaving Euratom requires the U.K. to hire and train its own staff for nuclear safeguard inspections and to sign new cooperation agreements with the EU, U.S., Canada and others — all by March 2019, while also negotiating the rest of Brexit.

                The worst case scenario: Britain falls foul of its international nonproliferation obligations; runs out of the radioactive isotopes it imports from Europe for medical scans and other treatments; and if the limbo carries on for several years, runs out of its fuel for nuclear power stations.

                “Considering that what the government have said they want is to have the same conditions they have now in place, it does rather beg the question — ‘is it really necessary that we leave Euratom?’” said Tom Greatrex, chief executive of the U.K.’s Nuclear Industry Association and former Labour shadow energy minister.

                The key question is how closely May sticks to her intention to free the U.K. from the European Court of Justice’s jurisdiction, which extends to Euratom.

                “If it had a more pragmatic and less dogmatic approach to ECJ competence, you could potentially stay in Euratom,” Greatrex said.

                • Time to cut all losses and go straight to the VOTERS in a second referendum.......We all know the answer will be a resounding STAY....so why is the country fooling itself......sticking doggedly to what a stupid 1.2 million first time ever voters - who will probably never vote again - said for pure divilment.

                  It is simply ludicrous to continue with this stubborn 'brexit means brexit' nonsense.....when the majority of serious voters know it will damage the country for decades to come. Below is a taster of things to come....just wait until it starts to really bite.....with household debt at an average £13'000, the continued depreciation of the £ in the pocket.....and a return to higher interest rates (a certainty) and rapid inflation.....not to mention widespread repossession of homes, and that coupled with a grave shortage of social housing ....and a steady flow of immigrants ......this place will be worse than someone's half empty glass that I know of.....

                  Stop the crap now and get back to what's best for all concerned......
