So, just like the Americans and Russians, Europe will have to pay duties on everything it imports from the United Kingdom. Likewise, the Brits will have to pay duties on everything they import from Europe. That\u2019s the direct effect. But there\u2019s also the indirect effect: because parts of products come from all over Europe too. A good example is a car drive shaft, for which the first parts are made in Italy and Germany, travelling via Newcastle, Spain, back to Germany, Wales, Birmingham, Chester, before ending up in a car. That part alone crosses the border with the United Kingdom four times.

Ironically, these are also the regions that had the highest \u2018leave\u2019 vote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn third place are the Netherlands and Germany, in terms of exposure. The German auto industry is very interconnected with UK value chains. The Netherlands has a big agricultural sector, which exports some of its products to the United Kingdom. For example peppers from the Westland. But it\u2019s also about re-export: products that we import in Rotterdam, which are then shipped to the other side of the Channel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother region that will suffer badly from Brexit is the Belgian province of Luxemburg, according to our analysis. We couldn\u2019t quite see why, but later we realised that they have a huge chocolate factory, which is very dependent on the Brits for its import.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does anyone benefit from Brexit?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are no real winners. There are a few regions that are benefiting from the relocation of financial services: banks that are leaving London to settle on the Zuidas in Amsterdam, or in Frankfurt or Paris. But such a financial organisation has a very different structure and social impact than a car factory or nursery. Generally, consumers \u2013 the lower incomes in particular \u2013 will pay the price, in the United Kingdom and in the Netherlands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/quote\" class=\"align\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t<figure data-component=\"quote-with-author\" class=\"@container\">\n\t<blockquote class=\"text-md italic @2xl:text-xl @4xl:text-2xl text-purple\">\n\t\t\u2018Generally, consumers \u2013 the lower incomes in particular \u2013 will pay the price.\u2019\n\t<\/blockquote>\n\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<p><strong>One of the main promises of the Brexiteers was: we pay much more net to the EU than we get back, and we\u2019ll invest that money into our own economy. That seems fairly logical, doesn\u2019t it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat calculation could have some logic if the United Kingdom manages to enter into a free trade agreement like Switzerland and Norway have done. However, negotiations are not going so smoothly, to put it mildly. And then there\u2019s the argument that Brexit would create jobs, because the Brits would make the products and services that they used to import. The so-called substitution effect. But here you forget the fact that production will become a good deal more expensive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>At the moment it is totally unclear how things will proceed; the political situation is changing day by day. What do you expect to happen in the coming months?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we were approached to do the research, they said: just for fun, look at the effects of a hard Brexit too. That\u2019s no longer unthinkable. Or even worse. If there\u2019s a no-deal, people might panic. A country has never left the EU, let alone from one day to the next. That creates huge problems: medicines that are no longer supplied, shortages of important products, a run on certain shops. Landing rights at Heathrow are organised at European level, so that means chaos. Long queues at airports, but also in the Port of Rotterdam, because people don\u2019t have the correct documents. For agriculture, which receives European subsidies in the United Kingdom, there\u2019s still no alternative. The agricultural sector is wondering: will we all go bankrupt?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbove all, it\u2019s the uncertainty that\u2019s so harmful. That\u2019s why investors and big companies are saying: we\u2019re not going to invest money in anything, we\u2019ll first wait and see what happens. And that\u2019s been the case for nearly three years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the Netherlands, those queues for ferries and planes will only feature briefly on the evening news, but won\u2019t cause any significant damage, will they?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the long term, our competitive position may deteriorate. The chemical industry may lose market share to the Ruhr Area, trade and transhipment may move from Rotterdam to Antwerp. All sorts of things may move. A country has never left the EU before, so we\u2019re not sure. Nevertheless, I think it\u2019s safe to say that no one will benefit from it.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e9e37d99d27&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69e9e37d99d27\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1118\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/04\/05101558\/em-knoop-brexit-touwtrekken.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139169\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-97037\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/04\/05101558\/em-knoop-brexit-touwtrekken.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139169 2000w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/04\/05101558\/em-knoop-brexit-touwtrekken-300x168.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139169 300w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/04\/05101558\/em-knoop-brexit-touwtrekken-875x489.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139169 875w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/04\/05101558\/em-knoop-brexit-touwtrekken-1280x716.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139169 1280w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/04\/05101558\/em-knoop-brexit-touwtrekken-1600x894.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139169 1600w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/04\/05101558\/em-knoop-brexit-touwtrekken-150x84.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139169 150w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/04\/05101558\/em-knoop-brexit-touwtrekken-225x126.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139169 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p data-component=\"image-credits\" class=\"flex flex-wrap gap-2 items-center text-base\">\n\t<span aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M19.5 5.25H16.9012L15.6234 3.33375C15.555 3.23114 15.4623 3.147 15.3535 3.08879C15.2448 3.03057 15.1233 3.00007 15 3H9C8.87665 3.00007 8.75522 3.03057 8.64648 3.08879C8.53773 3.147 8.44502 3.23114 8.37656 3.33375L7.09781 5.25H4.5C3.90326 5.25 3.33097 5.48705 2.90901 5.90901C2.48705 6.33097 2.25 6.90326 2.25 7.5V18C2.25 18.5967 2.48705 19.169 2.90901 19.591C3.33097 20.0129 3.90326 20.25 4.5 20.25H19.5C20.0967 20.25 20.669 20.0129 21.091 19.591C21.5129 19.169 21.75 18.5967 21.75 18V7.5C21.75 6.90326 21.5129 6.33097 21.091 5.90901C20.669 5.48705 20.0967 5.25 19.5 5.25ZM15.375 12.375C15.375 13.0425 15.1771 13.695 14.8062 14.25C14.4354 14.8051 13.9083 15.2376 13.2916 15.4931C12.6749 15.7485 11.9963 15.8154 11.3416 15.6852C10.6869 15.5549 10.0855 15.2335 9.61351 14.7615C9.14151 14.2895 8.82007 13.6881 8.68985 13.0334C8.55962 12.3787 8.62646 11.7001 8.88191 11.0834C9.13735 10.4667 9.56993 9.93964 10.125 9.56879C10.68 9.19794 11.3325 9 12 9C12.8951 9 13.7535 9.35558 14.3865 9.98851C15.0194 10.6214 15.375 11.4799 15.375 12.375Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/span>\n\t<span class=\"sr-only\">Image by:<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/persons\/bas-van-der-schot\/\" class=\"underline hocus:no-underline decoration-1 underline-offset-2\">Bas van der Schot<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure><p><strong>In the Netherlands, people have been toying with the idea of leaving the EU, for example Forum voor Democratie, the big winner from the Provincial States elections.
