I'm not being deliberately argumentative - just pointing out where legal eagles could earn a fortune debating semantics.
Unlike the wonderful membership of Cable Forum where we don't earn a penny for it.  |
The laws in the US, China etc are incompatible with the EU. Just that any goods they market in the EU have to comply with EU rules. Nothing inherently wrong with that. A central issue is whether after Brexit, goods marketed in the UK have to still submit to EU rules and the ECJ. Especially without having a say in what those rules are. That would be undemocratic and a coup by the EU.
