The UK should remain integrated with EU regulations on goods but not on services, according to a proposal from thinktank Open Europe, outlined in its report Striking a Balance: A blueprint for the UK-EU future economic relationship. With around 80% of the UK economy services-based, the organisation suggested divergence should be managed. However, in terms of goods, the UK should follow future EU regulations but have the freedom to decide not to do so, while accepting the risk to market access this would bring. Open Europe believe the proposal would strike a balance between leavers and remainers.
