<p>The Government’s proposal for a common rulebook on goods only relates to those
technical and product safety rules necessary to provide for a frictionless border.
The proposal does not extend to wider single market legislation nor animal welfare
and would not fetter our abilities to restrict or ban live animal exports.</p><p>
</p><p>The White Paper published on 12 July 2018 explains: “By being outside the CAP,
and having a common rulebook that only applies to rules that must be checked at the
border, the UK would be able to have control over new future subsidy arrangements,
control over market surveillance of domestic policy arrangements, an ability to change
tariffs and quotas in the future, and the freedom to apply higher animal welfare standards
that would not have a bearing on the functioning of the free trade area for goods
– such as welfare in transport and the treatment of live animal exports.”</p>
