Brexit white paper: There will be more barriers to UK's access to EU market post-Brexit
The UK government released the updated Brexit white paper, which triggered resignations of high profile UK ministers, including David Davis and Boris Johnson, and the key points are:
  • Facilitated customs arrangement will be as if UK was in a combined territory with EU.
  • Plans to diverge from EU rules for services, meaning a lower level of access post-Brexit.
  • Abandons idea of mutual recognition for financial services, will push to enhance equivalence regime.
  • Will push for mutual recognition of professional service qualifications after Brexit.
  • Will end free movement of people and the direct jurisdiction of European Court of Justice over Britain.
  • Plans to allow citizens to travel freely without a visa, for tourism and temporary business activity.
  • Plans new security partnership that will involve the UK staying in Europol and Eurojust.
  • Not proposing that EU applies UK's tariffs and trade policy at its border for goods.
  • Proposals for free trade area in goods after Brexit would pProtect integrated supply chains and just-in-time processes.
  • Plans a "phased approach" to the implementation of new facilitated customs arrangement.
