Jaded British voters weary of the Brexit debate may think the messy divorce proceedings are coming to an end, but there's still a long way to go
, but there is a reality check waiting for jaded voters who are feeling relieved that the messy divorce seems to be finally over.
The EU's demands will focus on environmental and labour standards, as well as state aid rules to ensure Britain would not be able to offer products on the bloc's single market at unfairly low prices.In addition to Mr Johnson's push for a"zero tariff, zero quota" trade deal, the bloc wants a guarantee of"zero dumping".
Britain's conundrum is that it will be under pressure to loosen rules on agricultural and food standards to strike a bilateral trade deal with the United States, but this would be crossing a red line for the EU, which would restrict access to its market to protect its own producers.Fishing is a thorny issue because EU countries will no longer be able to operate in British waters as they are now.
