Unfortunately I didn't get this chap's name, but what he pointed out regarding EU-UK trade agreement was interesting.
It seems that the EU, in insisting on regulatory *alignment* by the UK as a prerequisite for a trade agreement, is in a minority of two (2) in the world regarding how such matters are handled (the other is China).
That is, only the EU and China try to export their regulations by trying to force others to *align* their regulations. Everyone else does it by accepting regulatory *equivalence*, that is, each partner of the" trade agreement agrees to accept the other's regulations regarding the items covered by the agreement.
No doubt the usual suspects here will jump up and cry that the EU's approach is reasonable and that the UK has no choice but to accept it, but that's not the case.
