For a no deal outcome in trade talks with the eu. In his first comments since talks on wednesday with European Commission chief ursula von der leyen, he said there is now a strong possibility the two sides will fail to strike a deal. The uk leaves the eu Single Market and regulatory system in three weeks time when the transition period ends on 31 december. Mrjohnson blames the deadlock on the eus insistence on equivalence britain following the same regulations if it wants continued Single Market what has made things difficult in the last few weeks is the concept of equivalence, keeping the uk locked into the eus regulatory penumbra orbit. That is something that has appeared recently. We dont quite know why it has appeared in that way and that is the thing that has made things much more difficult andi made things much more difficult and i think unnecessarily so. European Commission President ursula von der leyen has also been giving her side follwing those talks. She says there must be a level Playing Field with the uk sticking to the same rules and standards if its to have continued access to the Single Market. We are willing to grant access to the Single Market to our british friends. Its the largest Single Market in the world. But the conditions have to be fair, they have to be fairfor our to be fair, they have to be fair for our workers and companies and this fine balance of fairness has not been achieved so far. Our negotiators are still working and we will take a decision on sunday. Well, theres been a warning in the last few hours from britains Retail Industry about the impact of a no deal brexit on prices. It says import taxes or tariffs of more than £3 billion would have be added to food and drink imported from the eu, at an average rate of 20 per cent. The uk relies heavily on europe forfresh produce at this time of year and that would mean higher prices in the shops here according to the british retail consortium. Lets go to brussels now for a european perspective on that. Ben butters is ceo of eurochambres, the association of european chambers of commerce and industry, which represents some 20 million businesses across europe. Good to see you and thank you for talking to us. You represent millions of businesses in europe. What does a deal or no deal mean for your members . Its extremely important deal is being struck and members have been pushing for this since 2016 and we want to deal with the uk. Its historically one of the strongest partners for the rest of the European Union and remains the Third Largest trading partnerfor remains the Third Largest trading partner for the remains the Third Largest trading partnerfor the eu, so it is crucial that our businesses, the 20 million or so across europe are businesses, the 20 million or so across europe are able to continue trading with their partners in the uk in a manner thatis partners in the uk in a manner that is with as few barriers as possible and notably Tariff Barriers which would be highly problematic. One of the current barriers is the principle of equivalence. Just how much of a concern is in for you and your members to have businesses in europe trading under different rules and regulations . Its a significant concern that it was underlined yesterday. We want to be able to trade with uk businesses but if they want access to the Single Market they must comply with the same rules and standards as business, consumer and social protection otherwise it wouldnt be a level Playing Field, so i dont think the notion of equivalents is a new one as prime ministerjohnson implies and its been there since the beginning of the negotiations and it is important that it is solved because we want a good deal with the uk but not at any cost and that would be a cost too far. Uncertainty is never good for business. Some of your members might be experiencing effects before the transition experience ends . The chamber in flanders asked some of its members who trade heavily with the uk what the implications are they said already they were having take mitigating measures and are concerned that the uk customs authorities are not sufficiently prepared and that the ports are not sufficiently prepared and as we saw earlier this week with the car plant in the uk closing down its operations for a few days because of a lack of components, even before any of these new measures have taken place, even before the uk leaves the Single Market there are already obstacles and barriers and that is having an impact not only on the day to day activities of businesses across europe but also on their confidence and ability to plan ahead, which are very important aspects when we talk about the need for a recovery, a quick and sustained recovery across europe. Looking at what is happening with the negotiations now, it seems like they have moved into the room realm of ideology and philosophy and not just about practical matters. When you look at the possible outcomes, what is the one you are hoping for, considering just how far apart these ideologies appear to be . Just how far apart these ideologies appear to be . M just how far apart these ideologies appear to be . It is worrying that with 48 hours to go according to the feedback from the dinner between prime ministerjohnson and ursula von der leyen, it is worrying that we are talking on this ideological level. I suspect that when mr frost and Michel Barnier and their teams are meeting they are going into far more detail and going into the mechanics of it, but ultimately our hope is that they can reach a deal, avoid this no deal scenario which would imply the imposition of tariffs which is exactly what we do not need in our economy at the moment, ta riffs our economy at the moment, tariffs on agricultural products, on car components, on a whole range of goods and components, plus also barriers to the provision of services. That is really the last thing the economy needs at the moment. Thank you so much for your time today. Lets stay with the European Union because eu leaders have finally broken the deadlock over a Financial Aid package worth 1. 8 trillion euros more than 2 trillion dollars to help pull the regions economies out of their pandemic induced recession. It needed unanimous agreement but was being vetoed by poland and hungary. They were protesting at rules linking access to the cash to respect for the rule of law. Both countries are being investigated by the eu for undermining the independence of courts and the media. But those rules have now been softened. Also on thursday the European Central bank ramped up the level of cash it is pumping into the regions economy by half a trillion euros. Ecb boss Christine Lagarde warned that there are signs of recovery in europe but support is still needed. The rebound of Economic Activity in the Third Quarter was stronger than expected and the prospects for the roll out of vaccines are encouraging. The pandemic continues to pose serious risks to Public Health and to the euro area and global economies. Joining me now is Chris Beauchamp chief market analyst at ig here in london. It looks like a resolution has been found, so what has the initial reaction been . Broadly positive, nothing too much in the markets overnight but a good sign to see this Important Programme finally making progress in the european institutions and to see it on the same day as the ecb announces an increase to its own Recovery Efforts is really encouraging sign and contrast with the us where you still have this rancour over a similar package and you have the us bank pleading with the government to get moving and markets will be pleased that one key part of the Global Economy has coordinated fiscal and monetary stimulus to provide the best possible boost for the struggling economies. Hopefully this is the beginning of something a lot more concrete in terms of getting the economy back on the right track. As we heard, there is the boosted bond buying plan from the European Central bank but how much of a difference will it make in terms of the affordability of credit in the region . The bond buying programme is like pushing a string because the ecb programme has been around for awhile and it was crucial early in the year to provide the confidence and im not sure how much it changes dial too much because the ecb have been saying for a long while that there is a limit to what they can do and its very much an emergency measure and the onus has to be on governments to do a lot more, so the fact it comes on the same day as the eurozone comes on the same day as the eu rozo ne recovery comes on the same day as the eurozone recovery is a very good sign and should give investors in europe a bit more confidence as to the strength of the recovery because as cristiane lingard said, the return of lockdown has knocked confidence and hopes of a broad recovery in the short space of time soi recovery in the short space of time so i think all things together, this is a more positive development for the economy and for markets as well. Just briefly, she also said there was some still some concern and what are the main issues that are causing that concern . Its the fact that the economies remain mired in recession, or the economic consequences of the losses earlier in the year and while we have a vaccine on the way we still have to get through a good few weeks or months of winter and that will be the major problem that hopefully we can navigate these waters without a bigger or further wave of infection and the lasting damage to Economic Confidence and the outlook should not be too strong, because if it is, we will have to see more measures to provide the sustainable boost for the european economy. We will leave it there. Thank you very much. The boss of mobile phone equipment giant ericsson has told the bbc that bans on its chinese rival huawei are scary. Swedens ericsson competes with huawei in building 5g telecoms networks.

We are dependent on economies being open and we have no home market, if erickson would only is well in sweden it would be less than a percent of the current size so we are dependent on countries being open. Of course i recognise that all countries need to make National Security decisions, but that can be done and still maintained with open and still maintained with open and free access to the market and free access to the market and that is what i criticise the swedish government for, not banning actors in a market doesnt make sense from an free trade perspective and you can draw on future trends, and it becomes scary for us.

Hes been speaking to our own Michelle Fleury about the rollercoaster year the company has had i felt i was the captain of a ship got hit by a torpedo and we werent anticipating going public but then something happened and people started who we re happened and people started who were stuck in the home started getting in their cars and they wa nted getting in their cars and they wanted to go to small towns and communities and the demand meant that the business started rebounding and at that point we thought, you know what, this might bea thought, you know what, this might be a good time to go public because we were already prepared to go before and we just wanted to allow more people to become shareholders. We are at the point where a vaccine is on the horizon. What does that do to your business . Currently a vaccine would mean more people would travel and if you think about next year, people will be waiting to travel again and we can only stay home so long before we are yearning from what is taken away from us. A lot of people think travel have been taken away from them and to be gathering and be with the people they love and care about has been taken away from them and that is fundamentally what people are looking to do soon as they can.
