I'd imagine this is what they are going for.
I alluded to this a few days ago.
Would be quite the coup for them...

I don't understand the upside for the UK from this. Am I missing something?

If they're not allowed to diverge from EU regulations, then they'll never be able to realise any advantage from not being in there, whilst at the same time being the subject of whatever changes the EU could impose. Why would a business prefer to be in the UK (where they can't influence govt regulatory changes) as oppose to an EU country (where they can)?

I'm guessing they'll try to remove freedom of movement or heavily restrict a quota might be a compromise.

I'm not too sure here but maybe we could be used as a stepping stone to trading with the EU for others outside the EU. Could benefit both parties then?
