It's the non-tariff concerns that are the main issue with the EU. For supply chains, it's the delay in transport. In services which account for 80% of our exports, it's the need for those services to be regulated by the EU which Theresa May has said no to hence companies like Goldman Sachs setting up in Frankfurt and Esayjet in Spain.
