I think that you need to look up what unilateral means...  In any case the EU is about consumer protection legislation, not tariffs.  Import tax is pretty low to the EU.  It’s things like anti-slavery, environmental impact and safety that form the bulk trade deals...

 

....and the EU doesn’t want the UK to be a back door to this.  Hence the problem...

The excuses for protectionism never change.

I think it has more to do with the UK having the ability to abolish VAT and corporation tax tbh but that might just be the Irish.

Anyways someone should necrobump this page in 2020-2021, a year or so after the effects of Brexit actually come into play.

Then we ll know if it was a smart move or not to leave the EU.

Worst comes to worst, the britains can always come back and say "we re sorry, we missed being part of eu, it isnt going well for us, can you let us back in?" and they ll probably just be welcomed back in.
