Britain will not seek to harmonize its regulations with the European Union after leaving the bloc, but will aim instead for “outcome equivalence”, Brexit minister David Davis (pictured) said on Wednesday (24 January).

“There’s undoubtedly an impetus among some continental countries and on the part of the Commission to try to trade off regulatory freedom against market access,” Davis told a parliamentary committee.

“Our strategy for dealing with that is to say we will seek outcome equivalence in some areas, but not harmonization - otherwise if you have harmonization you might just as well have stayed in.”
