Germany has delivered an ominous message to British negotiators in impending Brexit talks by insisting that even the worst-case scenario would be bearable for the EU.
Germany’s Economy Minister Brigitte Zypries said Friday that “even in the most adverse case,” Brexit would be “bearable for the EU economy and in particular for the German economy.”
Zypries said that a new study by Germany’s ifo institute, commissioned by her ministry, pointed to “economic opportunities and risks.”
While Zypries said Germany would seek “the best results” from talks, her appraisal of a bearable hard Brexit is bad news for hardline Brexiteers. They have often argued that Europe’s leading economies would ultimately cut a soft deal through fear of losing access to Britain’s large consumer market, in sectors ranging from cars to food.

It would be interesting if America then decided to impose some tariffs on German cars.
The 4th Reich speaks for the EU....
Europe fears losing access to Britain’s large consumer market?
I doubt it.
Europe will just increase its trade with Iran, China, and Russia.
What about BREXIT + US Paris Exit + US cutting their NATO funding down to Germany's level?
Nice panther btw. It took a minimum of 4 Shermans to take one out.
There will be losses if the British market will break away and there will be losses on the north American market. No doubt about that. It is not funny. Nevertheless the possibilities of the EU are outstanding to increase trade with Russia, India and China of course. Therefore I am also not impressed of the recent anglo-american economic uproar.

Angela? Is that you?
Wonder if that means she will be able to start paying her NATO bills....
Cannot happen soon enough. It is past time to treat products from Germany as they treat our stuff.
Bet that Germany is chomping at the bit to take over as the leader of the EU.
