Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU

The problem with the term 'level playing field' is that it is very broad. Even WTO rules have level playing field clauses around subsidies, intellectual property rights and discriminatory actions against imports.

As the mutually agreed political declaration said about level playing field actions;

Quote:
The precise nature of commitments should be commensurate with the scope and depth of the future relationship and the economic connectedness of the Parties. These commitments should prevent distortions of trade and unfair competitive advantages.
Even if we went for an 'Australian deal', AKA 'No deal', AKA 'hard Brexit', there would still be level playing field restrictions.
