answer text <p>The negotiated Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration outline the UK and EU’s shared commitment to a free trade area for goods with no tariffs, quotas or rules of origin requirements. We are not seeking membership of the Single Market, or Customs Union, after we leave the EU, but a bold and ambitious economic partnership.</p><p>The government has delivered on its commitment to provide appropriate analysis to Parliament with a robust, objective assessment of how exiting the EU may affect the economy of the UK, sectors, nations and regions in the long run. The analysis considers four analytical scenarios and compares them to today’s arrangements: the UK position set out in the July 2018 White Paper, a hypothetical FTA, an EEA-type relationship and a no deal scenario.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>In November, the Government published analysis of how exiting the EU may affect the UK economy in the long run, including in a no deal scenario. This covers an assessment of changes in UK-EU trading patterns rather than trade with specific countries. The analysis shows that new trade barriers between the UK and EU in the event of a no deal could lower UK-EU trade volumes by approximately 30 percentage points in the long run compared to the modelled White Paper scenario.</p><p>This Government does not want or expect a ‘no deal’ scenario. We want to deliver an orderly Brexit, with a deal, that protects our union, gives us control of our borders, laws and money, and means that we have an independent trade policy. We are committed to achieving an ambitious and unprecedented trading partnership with the EU.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK and the EU start from a unique position of aligned rules. The Government’s White Paper on the Future Relationship between the UK and the EU proposes a UK-EU free trade area, including chemicals, which is underpinned by a common rulebook for goods. The UK is also seeking participation in the EU agencies for highly regulated sectors, including the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). Our proposal would avoid friction at the border and mean that businesses could access both UK and EU markets through one series of approvals.</p> more like this
