I think the traditional movement of goods will be easily arranged anyway. It's services that will be the big sticking point.
Nailed it.
The common market of 500m consumers helped countries to specialise in what they're good at. For the UK, that's the service industry which serves the whole of the EU. Hence why Theresa May is open to a transitional arrangement so that service sector companies can reduce their operations in the UK and grow them in the EU27...over time, not over night. Such arrangements will be of benefit to both the UK and the EU27.

I'm sorry it was closed but the site administrators received too many complaints that people had blank screens when they opened that thread.
