However, negotiator Michel Barnier says Britain cannot have such an agreement free from bloc's rules. FMTNews Canada Britain

EU negotiator Michel Barnier says Britain cannot have such a trade agreement free from bloc’s rules.

Ministers will meet on Tuesday to sign off on the formal trade mandate document which will frame Britain’s negotiating aims, before it is published on Thursday. The EU-Canada deal, which came into force provisionally in 2017, removes most tariffs on goods traded between the two countries but does little to facilitate trade in financial services, which are very important for the UK economy.

Johnson’s office said there were not expected to be any surprises in the mandate document, which aims for a future relationship based on friendly cooperation between sovereign equals.
