Some areas of UK-EU disagreement that people might be less aware of (so not LPF, ECJ, fish etc):

1. EU wants FTA to cover procurement, UK doesn’t.
2. UK wants FTA to cover audiovisual services, EU doesn’t.
3. EU wants to use an off the shelf approach to rules of origin (so PEM), UK wants bespoke.
4. UK wants broad mutual recognition recognition of conformity assessment (allows UK-based notified bodies to certify products to EU standards), EU doesn’t .
5. EU wants climate change to be covered by broad level playing field commitments, UK wants it relegated solely to energy chapter.
6. UK wants max customs flexibility (think no deal measures at Calais) guaranteed by FTA, EU wants to retain ability to act unilaterally
