<p>The UK has proposed that a common rulebook for goods including agri-food should
underpin the UK-EU free trade area. As set out in the White Paper, the common rulebook
would cover those rules which are necessary to provide for frictionless trade at the
border between the UK and EU.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>In the case of manufactured
goods, this encompasses all rules that could be checked at the border, as they set
the requirements for placing manufactured goods on the market. For agricultural products,
food and drink, this includes relevant Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) rules, but
excludes those relating to wider food policy.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>With
regards to goods exported from the UK to countries outside of the EU, UK firms will,
as now, be able to manufacture products that meet the regulatory requirements of those
countries.</p>
