Keep up Pierre! The EU conceded on the ECJ yonks ago! It wants EU firms to be able to sue in British courts if the UK weakens its adherence to agreed standards in a way that gives UK firms an unfair competitive advantage. However, the UK has declined this idea.

Peston poses a good question:

If you voted for Brexit, did you think it was a state of pure and perfect national independence, or did you think that given how connected the UK is to the EU - economically, diplomatically, in respect of security - it might be a bit of a fudge and compromise?
Is Brexit an absolute state of putative grace - or a place on a spectrum, somewhere between Switzerland and Norway, which are semi-independent, and North Korea, which is wholly independent?
