<p>We are seeking a bold and ambitious economic partnership that is of greater scope
and ambition than any such existing agreement. We want to have the greatest possible
tariff- and barrier-free trade with our European neighbours, as well as to negotiate
our own trade agreements around the world.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>We have
undertaken an extensive programme of engagement. Ministers and senior officials from
across Government have been engaging extensively with both the European Institutions
and the 27 Member States. We continue to welcome ministers from across Europe to London
on a regular basis. We are clear that we want the EU to succeed: a strong and stable
EU, with the UK as its closest partner, is in all of our shared interests.</p><p>
