Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
12. Takes note that the UK has chosen to establish its future economic and trade partnership with the EU on the basis of a ‘Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement’ as laid down in the UK’s Approach to Negotiations; emphasises that, while the European Parliament is supportive of the EU constructively negotiating a balanced, ambitious and comprehensive FTA with the UK, by its nature an FTA will never be equivalent to ‘frictionless’ trade; shares the Commission’s negotiating position whereby the scope and ambition of an FTA that the EU would agree to is conditional on the UK agreeing to provisions related to the level playing field, given the geographical proximity and integration of markets, as well as on the conclusion of an agreement on fisheries; reiterates that the negotiation of the future economic and trade partnership cannot be disconnected from and must have a direct link with the negotiation of a fisheries agreement, as an integral part of the partnership; reaffirms that no agreement can be concluded between the EU and the UK if it does not include a complete, balanced and long-term fisheries agreement, upholding the continuation under optimal conditions of existing access to waters, resources and markets of the parties concerned;
