Brexit negotiating leader says England must be able to set its own laws
David Frost is not expected that the British attitude before the post-Brexit trade talks
the UK ", you have the possibility of laws that suit us," the PM's chief Brexit negotiator, said in a speech in Brussels.
David Frost is expected, that the British position in front of the post-Brexit trade negotiations, due to start next month.
He dismissed the idea of an EU-court would have a role in the future of trade disputes, saying, "We only want country, what are other independent. "
It Comes as France warns Britain to expect a bruising battle in conversations.
Acting Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey said: "Boris Johnson should listen to the views of the British companies that want to maintain, the greatest possible approximation to the European Union . "
addressing students and researchers at the Université libre de Bruxelles, Mr Frost is expected to say: "It is of Central importance for our vision, we need to have the ability to lay claim to the laws that suit us - The Right that every other non-EU-country in The World . to think
"So that we don't accept that maybe the EU supervision, on the so-called' level playing Field ' questions simply to show what we do. "
He will not say this is a "simple negotiating position that you may not go under the Pressure - it was The Point of the whole project."
He will also insist once again on the government to ensure that there is no extension of the transition period through the end of this year.
The transition period will run until 31 December 2020, during which time the UK will continue to follow the EU Rules - including the freedom of movement.
It should have enough some time for the UK and the EU on a post-Brexit trade agreement.
One of the most important points of dispute could be referred to the idea of ensuring a "level playing Field " - that of Mr Frost, in his speech.
The EU wants the UK to sign up to the strict Rules for fair and open competition known as the level-playing-Field - warranty - so if the British companies are given duty-free access to the EU market, you can not offer your competitors.
The EU has repeatedly warned that Britain cannot expect a continuation of the "high-quality" market access, if it insists, by way of derogation from the EU social and environmental standards.
It also wants the European court of justice reached a legitimate role in the policing of a free trade agreement.
But questions in his speech, Mr Frost: "How would you feel if the UK demanded that, in order to protect us, the EU harmonize dynamically with our national legislation in Westminster and the decisions of Our Own regulatory authorities and courts?
"The more thoughtful would say that such an approach would compromise the EU, the sovereign legal order. "
President of the European Commission , and Ursula von der Leyen has been in doubt as Boris Johnson , the goal of a comprehensive agreement by the end of the yearSpeaking on Sunday, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said the Two Sides would tear "each other apart," as they sought advantage in the negotiations.
"But that's part of the negotiations, all defend their own interests," he added.
He also said that it would be difficult for the UK to reach its goal of agreeing a free-trade deal by the end of the year.
presentation at a security conference in Munich, Mr Le Drian said the Two Sides were far apart on a number of Issues .
