The UK Government has now committed its vision of a
"principled and practical Brexit" to paper. It is the
clearest statement of intent yet from the UK on a wide range of
sectors and areas of policy.
The selective approach, to, for example ongoing participating in
Erasmus and the European Aviation Safety Agency means that it
remains to be seen of course whether the EU see this as
"cherry picking", and so whether the proposal will be
acceptable in whole or part to the EU.
The White Paper sets out the existing EU institutions which the
UK would like to retain access to. The UK proposes to develop its
own trade and government procurement policy, whilst maintaining the
current EU state aid regime albeit enforced by the Competition and
Markets Authority.
