Right - you're recommending cutting off all ties to the EU, including
being able to export to them?

Dave, stop trying to pretend you're Woddles. The companies that export
to the EU would have to follow EU standards, just as they do when
exporting to the US (then following US standards). Those not exporting
to a particular market do not have to follow the standards imposed by
that particular market. They may choose to, internally, in a device,
but that's a matter for the company concerned.

Well, yes. And how is that any different from now?

As I see it the only way the UK is going to be better off as regards
exports and control over the quality etc of those is by finding new
markets who are willing to accept lower standards than the EU demands.

Hordes of those in the 3rd world and Britain exports **** all
now except docos and stuff like Foyles War etc anyway.
