answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2017 answer text <p>In our negotiations with the EU, the UK will seek to secure a new, deep and special partnership. We propose the greatest possible tariff- and barrier-free trade with our European neighbours based on our rules and regulations being the same at the start, and on maintaining our commitment to free trade and high standards.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>But there will be areas that affect our economic relations where we and our European friends may have different goals; or where we share the same goals but want to achieve them through different means. This is where we recognise that the single market is built on a balance of rights and obligations, and so our task is to find a new framework that allows for a close economic partnership but holds those rights and obligations in a new and different balance.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 09/11/2017 17:07:41 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
