AFP, LONDON: British goods placed on the market before Brexit should be sold in EU countries under current conditions even after the UK leaves the bloc, the British government said yesterday.
The government also emphasised that current negotiations about the divorce are "inextricably" linked to future trade arrangements and should therefore be discussed at the same time.
In a paper ahead of the next round of UK-EU talks next week, the government said: "We want to ensure that goods which are placed on the market before exit day can continue to be sold in the UK and EU, without any additional requirements or restrictions.
"This means that where products have gone through an authorisation process prior to exit, for example a type approval for a car, this approval should remain valid in both markets after exit," it said.
Britain's Brexit minister David Davis said setting out the proposals "will help give businesses and consumers certainty and confidence in the UK's status as an economic powerhouse" following Britain's departure.
