The world has changed.

Wonder if they will be any repercussions.

Spain has massive unemployment and if they're closing a factory in Barcelona and allowing tax free imports from the UK, there will be a few questions asked.

Reading the article, dies that mean they are going to be building Renault's in the UK?

I'd imagine they will move it to a France.

Terrible news for Barcelona but sigh of relief for the north east

Not as far as I know. They export parts from France to the UK for use at Nissan Sunderland. The Micra is made by Renault in France as well.

For now. I'm still worried longer term. In fact I'm worried about redundancies now.

Devastating news

Sorry mate I had missed the part of the article you referred to. It does suggest there that they will shift production to Nissan here. Not sure how reliable this source material is.

The government can sharp put a tax on any one from the UK holidaying is Spain....

But I read on here that the UK site was first for the chop. Have Nissan forgotten Barcelona is in the fortress EU?

There will be people on this very board who are gutted it isn't the Sunderland plant

I think that'd be a tough tax. Imagine a £100 levy per person on anyone from the UK holidaying in Spain.
The Greek islands and Turkey would be rammed.

That's what the article is saying, if true that's a pretty big boost to Nissan Sunderland, good news for the region.

It will be tougher for the Spanish marra. I think you'll find Tunisia and down that way will be the benefit. Anyway, who wants to go to Spain this year with you being quarantined for 14 days, no hotel restaurants or pools open?
