Amendment 168 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12 a (new)
12 a. Notes that contrary to the UK’s claim of relying on existing precedents, many proposals in the UK draft legal proposals go significantly beyond what has been negotiated by the EU in other FTAs with third countries in recent years, for example in the area of financial services, mutual recognition of professional qualifications and conformity assessment, equivalence of the SPS regime, or the cumulation of Rules of Origin;

Amendment 177 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12 c (new)
12 c. Recalls that the continued shared commitment to a zero quotas, zero tariffs objective for the trade relationship remains an essential condition for the timely conclusion of an agreement within the extremely tight timeline that none other than the UK has imposed on these negotiations, especially as previous experience has well demonstrated that a tariff-line by tariff-line negotiation could take several years; reiterates in this regard that irrespective of whether 100% or less tariff-lines are scrapped, this will not alter the EU’s demand for robust Level Playing Field conditions; reiterates that the level-playing field provisions must maintain environmental, social and employment standards at the current high levels provided by the existing common standards, relying on appropriate and relevant Union and international standards, and including appropriate mechanisms to ensure effective implementation domestically, as well as include a robust and comprehensive framework for competition and state aid control that prevents undue distortion of trade and competition instead of referring to subsidies only;
