Admittedly, a few phrases lead me to suspect that the British negotiators are going to ask for more than this, since there is explicit mention of taking in ‘elements of current single market arrangements in certain areas – on the export of cars and lorries for example, or the freedom to provide financial services across national borders’. But how could one possibly imagine that the EU would agree to such demands, clearly designed to benefit the City in return for concessions to German exporters?
