Where are we going to put them all?
.....
Local aquaintance bought an Amal on the 'tax favourable ' idea. Basicly didn't pay the VAT.
Up the road, there is a rolling stock manufacturer. They don't lose many contracts from the French guv. Quite above board, just the contract details make it very tricky for a non french outfit to win the deal
There are also the various 'lease' schemes which the OP reports are only available to French constructed boats..

It has been widely alleged in the boating industry for several years - going right the way back to the 80s - that the French government has been subsidising Beneteau - it has been discussed on this forum before - whether they are illegal or not I am not qualified to say but certainly they are in a form that UK has not copied and gives Beneteau a competitive advantage
Not including the UK marine industry unfortunately. I presume the OP is French.That's good news for those involved.

- The industry directly contributes over £1.11bn of Gross Value Added to the UK economy (an increase of 3.7%)
- Marine businesses now support over 33,000 full-time equivalent employees (up 4.6%)
- Exports make up 29% of industry revenue, with key export markets including: Eurozone £392m (44.6%), North America £157m (17.8%), Other European Countries (including Russia) £90m (10.2%), China £40m (4.5%), and Middle East £30m (3.4%)

- Marinas & Moorings: £222 million (+3.6%)

So what exactly was the point of the post?Nope. Irish and British.

Just pointing out that glorying in the success of the French marine industry you would have to be French or some sort of fifth columnist.Blimey. Are you implying that because the post was not about the British marine industry that it's of no possible interest to anyone on this forum ?
Truly the spirit of Brexit Britain.

...Seeing as you raised the point, it was good news at the end of 2016 for the British side. I guess we shall have to wait and see if it is good news for the 2017 business year.
