Merge of EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement

edit

I created on wp:fr the equivalent of EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, and I think that Trade negotiation between the UK and the EU should be merge with EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement. And that Fish for finance need to be largely modified. Nouill (talk) 20:13, 25 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

I doubt that anyone who just wants to know what has been agreed really wants to plough through the in and outs of the negotiation. But for other readers, that is an important historical record. Maybe in France the whole thing is not such a huge deal but it certainly is for us in the UK. The F4F article is important because UK inc. makes a loss on all its trading activity except services, especially financial services, so it is very difficult to understand why our government cares more about an industry that earns less than a rounding error for one of the big banks. So no, I disagree with your proposal. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 20:40, 25 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Agreed with John. IF we were to merge it, than we would have a very long trade negotiation section, resulting in it being farmed out into ... its own article. Let's make one section in the agreement-page on the negotiations with a {{main|Trade negotiation between the UK and the EU}}-template at the top L.tak (talk) 12:22, 26 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
