The problem is that the UK has a strong interest in retaining full access to the EU market – the eurozone accounts for half of its exports of goods and services – but seems unwilling to submit to any obligation. As a result, British officials appear more likely to develop proposals that suit only the UK, and that could give it an unfair advantage.
问题在于，完全进入欧盟市场对英国来说利益重大——欧元区占据其商品和服务出口的一半——但英国不愿意承担任何义务。因此，英国官员更有可能给出只适合英国、让英国获得不公平优势的方案。这会阻碍谈判，并最终破坏欧盟成员资格的公众支持。
