    What EU regulations are the problem?

    Well let's go with e-cigarettes here
    Once you have an ECAS account and Submitter ID number, you can continue with the application process. The European Commission have published some guidance to help you with this. You can find this guidance by following the steps below:

    Ensure you have a ECAS account and EC-ID number
    Go to the EU-CEG website
    Scroll down to the blue ‘browse the theme’ table and click ‘technical documents’
    At the bottom of the page, click the link that says ‘For electronic cigarette and refill container stakeholders’. You will need an ECAS account to access this page. If you cannot see the information below, you will need to create an ECAS account and log in
    You have now accessed the CIRCABC (Communication and Information Resource Centre for Administrations, Businesses and Citizens). Click ‘latest version of technical documents’
    Unless you have an AS4 Access point, you will need to click ‘XML Submission through web interface’ (if you do not know whether you have an AS4 Access point, or are not sure what one is, we recommend you use the web-interface option)
    On this page you will find:
    The ETRUSTEX tutorial.pdf, which contains all the necessary information regarding how to:
    submit your XML through the web interface;
    read the encrypted messages sent by EU-CEG; and
    manage user accounts in the XML upload system (E-trustex)
    A keystore (EUCEG_GUI_USER) to decrypt the messages received by the EUCEG system. (The ETRUSTEX tutorial gives you the information about how to use this keystore)
    How to install the XML creator tool procedure (procedure to install the TDP XML creator tool.pdf)
    The XML creator system (tpd-xml-creator-tool-1.1.3.zip)
    Unless you wish to use a bespoke XML file creator, the Commission have provided one that is free for you to use. To access it, download the tpd-xml-creator-tool-1.1.3.zip and run the file named the tpd-xml-creator-tool-1.1.3.jar
    Once you have created your XML files using the tool, you can upload them to the portal by following the instructions in ETRUSTEX tutorial.pdf. Please note that MHRA does not run the notification portal or XML creator, and the steps above are for guidance only. If you have any difficulties, please contact the portal’s technical team directly via the email addresses below:

    Macmillan tried in vain to join the EEC in the early 60's because he knew that the UK would become isolated and marginalised and would lose the favours of the US.
    Now May is taking them out. They think they can go it alone when in fact they have rarely gone it alone. They built the empire on the backs of those they colonised and when they lost that they clung to the shirt tails of the real world superpower, riding shotgun for them and giving the US influence in Europe.

    The mythmaking about their superiority in the world is about to come to a sad end, unless of course James Bond is based on reality, the superior British hero! Nobody does it better. :)

    I would say this is true for the most part. If they did why risk it and plant bombs in shopping centres of a busy Saturday afternoon?

    What I'm amazed at is how unfreaked out they were about Jo Coxes death when compared to Lee Rigby.

    Even on their radio the last few days events warzones that they don't have to be in are top stories compared to the actual events that will have a real impact on their daily lives.

    It's like military prestige is more important than their economy.

    In fairness, our republican tradition is anything but republican in the real sense. Its more anti - English/British. If the Brits were a republic, we probably would have installed a King, just cause.

    What is the problem with that? Have you been in business long? It's just red tape and not very complicated red tape at that, try doing it before the internet.

    Thatcher used the Malvinas to bolster a failing career. No surprise here

    Seriously, is that causing you to shut up shop? You should try the paper work/compliance/regs here. I'm doing Vat returns all evening.

    The UK would have to come up with something very similar once EU regulation is ended in the UK. Added to that the importer may well have to pay import duties!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,549 ✭✭✭maryishere

    She defended the Falklands because almost 100% of the Falklanders were loyal to the UK and they were invaded by a load of conscripts from Argentina. She certainly did not do it to bolster a failing career because many considered it a risky thing to do, considering the number of Argentinian soldier who invaded the Falklands and the extended supply lines from the UK etc.

    Tobacco got it's foothold because it's effects were not immediately apparent. If people died instantly from using it, it would have the status of arsenic.

    Vaping is relatively new and needs regulation IMO and I am a vaper. I will be buying from compliant suppliers as I am sure most will. I am already saving multitudes of what it cost me to smoke so I am willing to pay more for it.

    Precisely the reason a lot of small business owners in the UK voted out...endless hours caught up in red tape,now thats alright if you're a multinational with a compliance team on the payroll...

    We are not talking about the army here, we are talking about Irish Republicans. Again I, repeat. If they cared so much for innocent life, why did they plant bombs in Shopping Malls on busy Saturday afternoons.

    Hey what do you know, the UK is having war games down there next week!
    http://www.efe.com/efe/english/portada/argentina-demands-that-u-k-call-off-wargames-in-the-falklands/50000260-3068253

    I bet this will bury Brexit in the UK tabloids for a week at least. May might even try to engineer a standoff to maximise value.

    She took a risk, it paid off. She considered not responding, Regan implored her not to and almost suceeded and most of her cabinet didn't want to respond either.
    Hardly, a heroic rush to defend loyalists.

    What makes you think this is particular to the EU. Regulations, red tape, call it what you will exists in all economies.

    Or indeed plant bombs in restaurants (eg Le Mons ), shopping centres of cities ( Bloody Friday etc ), Remembrance day ceremonies ( Enniskillen) , etc.

    You haven't a clue.

    Ah, yes we in Ireland espouse real true Roman Republican principles by seeding power and influence over moral affairs of the state over to the Catholic Church, where women for more or less seen as baby making machines.

    Where women were less free after independence then before.
    Where writers and playwrights were subjected to more censorship then the UK.
    Where our greatest export was people (to Britain)
    Where political dynasties are built on a name and who your father was.
    Where our political makeup is till defined by what happened in the civil war, 100 years ago.


    Yes, real republican ideals there. ROFL

    In Ireland, we are not Republican in any real sense of the world. Look at the French for example, look at the Americans. They are Republic's. They took power from the monarchy in one and from the Brits in another. They created their own state among their own founding principles.

    Irish Republicanism is defined by violence and a hatred of all things British and Anglo. It is defined by what it is not (British or English), not by what it is.

    Oh, agree. Again people want to reject these facts because they are uncomfortable. They get butt hurt when people points out these facts to them.

    The British army are not my army. They have over centuries and more particularly recently, perpetrated acts of terror here.

    Do I as an Irish republican hold the entire British people who support their army responsible? No I don't. That is just silly and hysterical.
    Do I as an Irish republican think the British army killed innocent civilians deliberately? Yes I do. Do I hold British people responsible, no I don't.
    Do I think the British killed innocents by accident, yes I do. Do I demean the British people, no I don't.
    Do I think terrible things happen in wars/conflict, yes I do
    Do I get hysterical about the things one side do in wars/conflict, no I don't.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,549 ✭✭✭maryishere


    Do I...
    You have not answered the question. If the PIRA cared so much for innocent life, why did they plant bombs in Shopping Malls on busy Saturday afternoons?

    To spread terror, the same reason you bomb cities from the air. Churchill knew about it.
    It's terrible and I couldn't order it, but many have. Want a list?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,549 ✭✭✭maryishere


    Whataboutaderry. Now answer the question. If the PIRA cared so much for innocent life, why did they plant bombs in Shopping Malls on busy Saturday afternoons?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26,567 ✭✭✭✭Fratton Fred


    To spread terror

    So they were terrorists then?

    Republicanism isn't confined to Ireland, look at those american terrorists that fought the civilized brits for independence!

    Republicanism is anathema to Brits because it threatens their class system, even the poor defend their position.

    They all want their place in Dowton abbey.
