UK may consider paying for EU market access

Brexit-related tariffs would add at least 4.5 billion pounds ($5.6 billion) a year to the cost of auto imports and exports between Britain and the European Union, an industry body said, urging Britain to remain in the single market after it leaves the EU.

The BBC reported last month that the government had prepared a bill of just three lines which it believed would be “bomb-proof” against amendments by lawmakers who may try and add conditions to the approval.

Derek Halpenny, European head of global markets research at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, said Dijsselbloem’s comments marked “the first time we can recall a senior EU official acknowledge the possibility of the United Kingdom having access to the internal market” after Brexit.

The Lords EU Home Affairs Sub-Committee was told that a work permit system would be the most practicable option for controlling migration, but registering the up to 3.9 million EU nationals already resident in Britain would be a “formidable” task.

Ms Reynolds pressed Mr Davis on this, warning about what would happen if British business was forced “off that cliff onto WTO rules and tariffs”.

“No one wants to see labor shortages in key sectors”, he said.

“Many will be refused simply because they can’t provide the evidence”.

Davis also dismissed media reports that Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson had told several European Union ambassadors he supports freedom of movement, describing them as “completely at odds” with what he believed Johnson’s view to be. Should the banks walk away from the UK, Wales could see many problems come their way which will impact much of the population, who never wanted to leave in the first place.

“We all agree that”. Trade Secretary Liam Fox is said to be keen to pull out so that he can start negotiating commercial pacts with other countries.

Mr Farron said his comments underlined the need for ministers to spell out clearly what their plans were for Brexit.

“Yet there is a running commentary”.

Officials said the notes did not belong to a government official and do not reflect the government’s position.

“The dominating factor here is what’s the best outcome for Britain in the long run”. Asked about the reports during a visit to Rome, Johnson said he had told European Union ambassadors immigration had been a good thing but that it had got out of hand and Britain was leaving the bloc to be able to get back control. “What we have said is that we will look at how we get the best possible deal”. But they also signal that food security, food safety and hygiene, stewardship of the countryside and affordable food is at risk if Ministers fail to deliver continued access to labour and the best possible Single Market access.
