Chief negotiator: UK will not align with EU standards
By EUobserver
The UK will not align its standards with those of the EU, the UK's chief negotiator, David Frost said at a Brussels university Monday. "To think that we might accept EU supervision on so-called level playing field issues simply fails to see the point of what we are doing," he said, even arguing that London might set higher standards, yet it does not want to make the bloc follow them.
