But that does not change our ambition to ensure UK and EU service providers continue to benefit from cross-border trade after leaving the European Union.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>To this end, the Government’s White Paper sets out our vision for a deep and comprehensive deal for the services industry with the European Union – including detailed proposals on digital, financial, professional and business, and other services.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Our approach is based on the principles of international trade and the precedents of existing EU trade agreements. It minimises new barriers to service provision, allowing UK firms to establish in the EU, and provides for the mutual recognition of professional qualifications.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>We accept that leaving the Single Market will have implications for market access and that some UK and EU service suppliers will not enjoy the same rights as they do today.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>However, leaving the European Union will give us regulatory flexibility where it matters most, for the UK’s services-based economy, and where the potential trading opportunities outside the EU are the largest.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>This proposal represents the best, credible proposal for the future relationship that meets all of the Government's objectives and the EU's red lines.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 18/07/2018 16:31:09 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
