Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU
It’s not irrelevant at all.
Trade deals are frequently characterised by mutual recognition of standards, not compliance. A mutual recognition deal that starts from a point of near perfect alignment ought to be far easier to work out than one that begins from a place of great divergence.
There are EU rules written right through our statute book. Even a deliberate effort to diverge from them would take years to produce significant widespread differences.
