But they still want to set up an FTA with the sinking the ship and the sinking ship will set the terms of that deal.

The terms will almost certainly require us to pay in a considerable amount to the EU and require free movement of labour which will torpedo the proposal below.

I can't see it, maybe I missed it. But where does it state that the amount of contributions to the EU FTA and other EU programmes are based on the GDP of the state?
