<p>The Government has published its White Paper setting out a clear proposal for the
future relationship we want to build with the European Union.</p><p>This represents
a substantial evolution of our proposals towards our future relationship which are
of greater scope than any such existing agreement, and reflect our shared history
and values, close ties, and unique starting point.</p><p>The Government’s proposals
for its future economic relationship with the EU strikes a new and fair balance of
rights and obligations. It sets out a UK-EU trade area for goods to ensure continued
frictionless access at the border to each other's markets, underpinned by an upfront
commitment to a common rulebook on goods, including agri-food and a Facilitated Customs
Arrangement to avoid customs checks and controls at our border. It further proposes
a comprehensive package for services and digital minimising new barriers to trade
whilst acknowledging UK and EU service suppliers will not enjoy the same rights as
they do today.</p><p>Our proposals recognise that the UK will not have the same levels
of market access as it currently does, but we are committed to securing the best possible
future trading relationship - one that works for the UK and for the EU.</p>
