Re: Reap what you sow

It won't happen because being part of the EFTA means you need to abide to EFTA "freedoms" - including the freedom of moving across boundaries.

The point is exactly that - if someone in UK still believes in a "free trade agreement" which means that goods and capitals can move freely as in happens in EFTA or EU, but people can't, it's still dreaming a lot after drinking too much Breixters' Kool-Aid. The rules for free trade with EU are there. Don't like them? No free trade, sorry.

And that also will impact any agreement on R&D - if UK wants to fully control who could do and get the benefits of that R&D.
