Ja, so langsam mehren sich die Meldungen, dass nach dem anfänglichen Optimismus ("Keine Staus an der Grenze, yeah!") doch noch nicht alles so reibungslos klappt. ("Aber auch keine eintreffenden LKWs mit neuen Waren. Wo bleiben sie?")
With Brexit done, reality dawns that frictionless UK-EU trade is no more >
| The Food and Drink Federation, backed by some EU counterparts, warned that UK distribution hubs would struggle to function because goods imported tariff-free into the UK from Europe were then facing full EU tariffs when they were spun back out into EU member states. The trade groups initially said they believed this was an “unintended consequence” of the deal and were lobbying for a derogation (which trade experts say is technically possible) but EU officials were very clear — and I paraphrase — that this is just the deal, so deal with it. ...
In short, change is coming, and perhaps more change than some had previously understood, and there is no sign of the EU looking to help. “You can’t expect the UK to remain the food import hub for the EU. It’s not sustainable, and makes no sense in the mid-to-longer run,” said a senior EU official, explaining thinking in Brussels, and drawing the parallel with financial services where Brussels also sees little point in moving to preserve the UK as a “hub”, even if that drives up costs for some businesses.
The prevailing view in Brussels seems to be that given that dual regimes will emerge over time — for financial services and indeed phytosanitary (SPS) regulations — it makes no sense to have the UK as an EU hub for very much. This penny is now starting to drop.
On a micro level, this means that some businesses will simply stop trading with the EU because it becomes too expensive — or move to split their supply chains to avoid having to do cross-Channel trade, shrinking their UK footprint in the process.

Brexit: Why are the shelves empty in some supermarkets? >
| Asda, Sainsbury's and Tesco have told BBC News NI that some products have faced delays or are in limited supply.
Senior civil servants have said that a major problem is that some British firms have not been prepared for the new processes needed to ship to Northern Ireland. | |
Reddit:
| Same here in Wiltshire, my local Lidl has empty fruit and veg shelves too. But with no chaos at the border vegetables must be stuck at depots somewhere tied up in red tape? | | | The chaos has been moved from the ports to the suppliers
One of our partner companies was due to dispatch several loads to us. Currently, they've got 60 truck backlogged.
So far, only 1 has arrived due to lack of paperwork | | | My local Lidl has been empty of all fruit and veg except potatoes for most of this week, but its got some stuff in now. | | | Took me several hours to do my shopping yesterday as I had to go to different places to get everything I needed ... no pork here, no cream there.... I mean it's not like we'll starve but that really isnt the bar we should be using | | | Well, I live in Yorkshire and the majority of the shelves were almost empty last week on Saturday afternoon. I guess this is happening throughout all the country. | | | Mentioned it in the mega thread. Definite bare shelves in Tesco on the west coast of Scotland. | |
Brexit Becomes Trucker Nightmare as Red Tape Ties Up Drivers >
| - Lull in traffic means delays haven’t hit major U.K. ports, yet
- Trucks delayed at pick-up points as customs agents struggle
With traffic well below its usual levels, the pain has so far manifested itself out of sight at factory gates and truckers’ depots. It’s likely to spread to the ports as activity rebounds in coming days, according to seven firms interviewed by Bloomberg.
“It’s an absolute mess,” said David Zaccheo, operations manager at Alcaline U.K. Ltd., whose fleet of 145 vehicles shuttles goods between Britain and the EU. “What’s going to happen next week? We’re not even that busy at the moment.” ...
“It’s a nightmare,” Blackham said. “It starts right from the top and goes all the way down, the level of confusion.” He said another company had sent them a pallet of manufactured goods to be shipped to France, but they had provided no accompanying documents. They were surprised when they were told it wouldn’t be possible to send it, Blackham said. “The customers are massively confused about what’s needed,” he said. “I don’t expect it to be until March at least before people familiarize themselves.” ...
“The first few days of the new rules have been very tough,” according to the note by Robert Hardy, the consortium’s co-founder. “There are so many new processes and a massively steep learning curve.”

Brexit red tape leaves fish rotting on Cornish boats >
| Cornish fishermen's catches are being left to rot because a post-Brexit "brick wall of bureaucracy" is holding up exports to the European Union.
New paperwork has been introduced for all British fishermen, including a European Health Certificate that proves their fish meet regulatory standards, has been introduced since the Brexit transition period ended on December 31.
...
Meanwhile, Scottish trawlermen have been told to catch fewer fish after Brexit red tape caused long delays exporting to the EU.
"We're now advising the catching sector to ease up," said Jimmy Buchan, chief executive of the Scottish Seafood Association. "Trucks carrying fish are facing four-hour waits to be cleared. We can't guarantee we'll get it into the marketplace." | |
Exclusive: 'It's a catastrophe': Scottish fishermen halt exports due to Brexit red tape >
| Many Scottish fishermen have halted exports to European Union markets after post-Brexit bureaucracy shattered the system that used to put fresh langoustines and scallops in French shops just over a day after they were harvested.
Fishing exporters told Reuters their businesses could become unviable after the introduction of health certificates, customs declarations and other paperwork added days to their delivery times and hundreds of pounds to the cost of each load. ...
“Our customers are pulling out,” Santiago Buesa of SB Fish told Reuters. “We are fresh product and the customers expect to have it fresh, so they’re not buying. It’s a catastrophe.” ...
David Noble, whose Aegirfish buys from Scottish fleets to export to Europe, said he would have to pay between 500 to 600 pounds ($815) per day for paperwork, wiping out most profit. ... “I’m questioning whether to carry on,” he said. “If our fish is too expensive our customers will buy elsewhere.” | |

Ich wäre absolut dafür das die EU Hilfslieferungen startet wenn die Versorgung mit Lebensmitteln auf "Plague Island" wirklich kritisch wird, aber alles davor - Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

Evtl bekomme ich in den nächsten Monaten eine Seuche, die mich lungengeschädigt zurücklässt und wenn nicht sind danach die Chancen gut, dass die Wirtschaftskrise mich unter der Brücke schlafen lässt. Jetzt ist der ideale Zeitpunkt für ein Baby.

Sehr wahrscheinlich ist es nicht, ja. Aber gab es nicht in letzter Zeit einige Berichte, dass auch bei machen jüngeren Menschen (vor allem mit schwererem Verlauf) danach noch länger Schäden festgestellt werden konten?
Eine Cousine von mir (Mitte 30) hatte jedenfalls nach ihrer Erkrankung im Frühling noch bis weit in den Sommer hinein grosse Probleme sich um ihre Kinder und Arbeit zu kümmern, wegen andauernder Schwäche und Müdigkeit.

Mehr Zeit zuhause mit dem Kind macht natürlich Sinn.
Mir selber wäre es aber momentan zu heikel, wenn es auch in ein paar Monaten noch ginge, wenn dann klarer ist, wie das ausgeht, gesellschaftlich und wirtschaftlich.

Mindestens 0.6% Chance für schweren Verlauf bei jungen Erwachsenen finde ich jetzt nicht so gering als Chance.
Und die Gewebeveränderungen sieht man auch bei asymptomatischen Verläufen, zu der Inzidenz hiervon gibt es nur noch nicht genug Daten.
https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/coronavirus/coronavirus-and-covid-19-younger-adults-are-at-risk-too
In einigen Regionen der USA zum Beispiel ist Rona für die meisten Toten bei jungen Erwachsenen verantwortlich, mehr als Drogenüberdosen, was sonst #1 ist.

In some areas of the United States during COVID-19 outbreaks, the new coronavirus likely became the leading cause of death among adults aged 25-44, researchers say. Using data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), they analyzed deaths from any cause in that age group from March through July, along with drug overdose deaths during the same period in 2018, the most recent year for which data are available. In three of 10 regions of the country, as identified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, deaths exceeded 2018 unintentional opioid overdose deaths during at least one month of the pandemic, researchers reported on Sunday on medRxiv, ahead of peer review. They were Region 2 (New York, New Jersey), Region 6 (Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas), and Region 9 (Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada). It is not clear which states account for the most deaths in each region, coauthor Dr. Jeremy Faust of Harvard Medical School in Boston told Reuters. But data not included in the paper suggests that in New York, New Jersey, and Louisiana more people aged 20 to 39 "were dying of COVID-19 than opioids usually kills during the same time frame there," he said. "Usually, opioids are the leading cause of death in these demographics all over the country."

Zum Brexit:
Government to let farmers use bee-killing pesticide banned in EU
| A 2017 study of 33 oilseed rape sites in the UK, Germany and Hungary found a link between higher levels of neonicotinoid residues and lower bee reproduction, with fewer queens in bumblebee hives and fewer egg cells in solitary bee nests.
The following year, the EU agreed a ban on all outdoor uses of three neonicotinoid insecticides to protect bees.
Evidence suggests the pesticides harm bee brain development, weaken immune systems and can leave bees unable to fly.
A 2019 report by the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation and the World Health Organisation said there was a “rapidly growing body of evidence” that “strongly suggests that the existing levels of environmental contamination” by neonicotinoids were causing “large-scale adverse effects on bees and other beneficial insects”. | |
| Last month it was revealed that the National Farmers’ Union had organised a letter from members to Mr Eustice urging him to allow the neonicotinoid called Cruiser SB to be used in England this spring.
A message to members stated: “Engagement on this campaign has been truly incredible”, adding: “Please refrain from sharing this on social media.”
Thiamethoxam is designed protect sugar beet in its early stages from insects but critics warn it will not only kill bees but also harm creatures in the soil as it washes off.
NFU sugar board chairman Michael Sly said the pesticide would be used in a limited and controlled way and only when the scientific threshold has been independently judged to have been met. | |

Sollte dann gegen level playing field verstoßen, oder?
|

Nee, ist auch ein wenig kontextlos. Thiamethoxam ist seit 2018 nur im Freiland verboten. Aber nicht nur bei uns Menschen wüten Viren, sondern auch bei der Zuckerrübe breiten sich gerade hierzulande Vergilbungsviren aus. Aufgrund der schwerwiegenden Umsatzverluste (im Schnitt zwischen 30-50%) hat zB NRW (Ländersache) deswegen eine Notfallzulassung für den Wirkstoff in 2021 unter verschärften Auflagen (deutlich reduzierte Aufwandsmenge, verpflichtendes Ökomonitoring, keine blühende Zwischenfrüchte oder bienenattraktive Folgekulturen, etc) erhalten. Gilt auch nur für die Saatgutbehandlung, damit im Frühjahr die Pfirsichblattlaus nicht als Vektor agieren kann.
Die EFSA hat auch gerade über 20 Notfall-Zulassungen aus anderen EU-Ländern zur Überprüfung auf dem Tisch (afaik in Belgien, Polen und Tschechien auch seit 2019 via Notfallzulassung erlaubt). For what's worth: Klöckner hat sich dagegen ausgesprochen und präferiert den Einsatz in Hotspotgebieten.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Zur Bienentoxizität sei noch kurz erwähnt, dass die Beizung des Saatguts in geschlossenen, zertifizierten Anlagen erfolgt (also nicht durch die Umwelt "gepustet" wird), Zuckerrüben im einjährigen Anbau nicht blühen und dadurch Insekten anziehen, Getreide meist als Folgekultur dient (sprich auch nicht attraktiv für Bienen) und die Tauwasser-Exposition zumindest diskutiert wird.
Kurzum gibt es innerhalb der EU schon ein Flickenteppich und gehe nicht davon aus, dass dit "level playing field" gefährdet ist.
