1. Deprive EU from UK exports
2. Make EU follow UK regulations when exporting to UK
Draft plan also had the third element (Profit!!!), but upon closer scrutiny it was removed from the cunning plan.

Looking at the Canada deal - they have 95% access to the single market - they don't have to pay a penny - and don't have to accept free movement.
So the question is - if we can get 95% for "nothing", then how much will it cost us for that extra 5% - and is it worth the cost. Is passporting really worth having to accept free movement - and pay a big wodge in access fees.
All that assumes we could get the same deal as Canada.
But this is also the first round in a poker play. If the EU think we are desperate to keep passporting - at any cost - they will exact a very high price. You have to make the other side believe you are prepared to walk away - that was the fatal mistake the Greeks made a few years ago - they wanted to remain in the EU at any cost - and the EU knew it.Comment

Which, as the EU is well aware, we depend on.
Here's a prediction: if we get that far, the EU won't budge on free movement.Comment

Odd isn't it that a failing Business model, propped up by the Tax payer gets to say how to stuff their customers even more. Bet they can't make it pay even then.

...With regard to the supply of a service through the temporary presence of natural persons
(‘Temporary Entry’), the agreement contains important provisions, notably for intra-corporate
transferees, that will facilitate the activities of both European and Canadian professionals and
investors. Whenever investment is liberalised, inter-corporate transferees are guaranteed
access. Furthermore, both Canada and the EU undertake to allow companies to post their
intra-corporate transferees to Canada for up to 3 years regardless of their sector of activity. In
addition, the agreement guarantees for the first time that intra-corporate transferees may be
accompanied by their spouses and families when temporarily assigned to subsidiaries abroad.
Natural persons, who provide a service as so called ‘contractual service suppliers’ or
‘independent professionals’ will be able to stay in the other party for a period of 12 months
instead of 6 months as was the rule so far...
As I've been trying to tell you chaps, those EU negotiators are tough as nails. Best of luck to Davis.Comment
