My latest on why existing alignment between EU and UK will not help deliver a quick trade agreement. In short, because the UK doesn't want to maintain the existing alignment, and so we get intoi trade-offs... prospectmagazine.co.uk/economics-and-…
But also consider this - in a trade agreement where the previous relationship was WTO rules both sides / business probably already know what barriers they want to remove. But in the case of future EU / UK trade relations neither side knows what specifically they want to change
And do we want to be so quick? Surely "Fixing our trade relations for many years to come deserves longer than a few months of consideration..." prospectmagazine.co.uk/economics-and-…
