From my previous link

We are unlikely to lower standards that much, if at all. Other countries have lower standards and they export to the EU.
Export legally, and presumably products that adhere to EU standards?

I note you’re use of “we are unlikely”; that isn’t certain. The EU Single Market will not survive if it’s to be left with what you consider likely not or otherwise.

AFAIK At the moment we can set higher standards for UK producers, but we still have to accept imports from the EU that are below that standard. Eg in the past we tried to block UHT milk from France that didn't meet our standards. The EU said we had to accept it, because it met EU standards.
Do we hold our values high enough to set UK standards above EU ones at present?

Grateful for examples of this, if we do.
