A generous gesture which we should accept if the worst comes to pass.

EU makes no-deal transport offer in return for 'level playing field' agreement
Bloc will keep roads open to hauliers and let UK operate flights for six months if UK agrees to maintain ‘equivalent’ regulations
The EU has offered to keep planes, coaches and freight operating across Europe for six months after a no-deal exit – if the government agrees to maintain a “level playing field” in standards, the issue that has dogged the trade and security talks.
In a flurry of announcements, the European commission said it would legislate to temporarily allow airlines from the UK to operate flights across its territory and keep roads open to British hauliers and buses.
The EU will also offer British fishermen access to its seas and open negotiations over quotas, if the UK government reciprocates. But the commission said the offer was for a limited period and it was only willing to act to avoid the worst disruption, including the risk of “public disorder”.
