> He is also saying that they will tolerate no input from other countries into the definition of those rules, even if that might be beneficial all round, which is arrogant.

The relevant counter-quote is even in the headline for the article: 'We cannot, and will not, share decision-making autonomy with a third country'.

If it needed spelling out, everyone can have their say, but all those non-EU countries (like the UK, Russia, Guatamala, the US, China, etc) will not be invited to have special status in deciding the rules that the EU puts in place in the future - because they are/will be non-EU countries.

The UK position isn't just unreasonable, it's effing delusional.
