Michel Barnier

May claimed in her speech last Friday that the UK could negotiate a future trade relationship based on mutual recognition of standards overseen by a third party court, made up of EU and UK nominees.
however it has been said that “The EU has moved away in the wake of the financial crisis from mutual recognition of national standards to a centralised approach with a single EU rule book and common enforcement structures and single supervisory structures.”
He also stated that  EU rules were clear that the European court of justice  would have the power to set rules or intervene where they feel as if the british was undermining the  integrity of the single market.
“are more concerned with maintaining the integrity of the EU single market than any loss of access to British markets”, implying EU business is in no mood to press the commission to compromise in the talks.
Lastly, the decision made clearly show that the EU have no appetite to negate to point where the UK can have the same or similar privileges as they once had. This is to show the  other neighbouring countries the effects of leaving the EU.
