answer text <p>If the UK were to leave the EU without alternative trading arrangements in place, WTO rules would require that trade between the UK and the EU would be subject to Most-Favoured Nation (MFN) treatment for goods and services. The average amount of tariffs that would have to be paid would depend on MFN commitments. However, as the Prime Minister has said, we want to give British companies the maximum freedom to trade and operate in the European market – and let European businesses do the same here.</p> more like this
