I think we'll see more and more of this. It's all part of BEANO.
We won't be members of the EU, but in order to continue their business then most industries will voluntarily sign up to he EU standards, processes and rules.
Imagine the EU rules of sausages; And the emotional Leavers were offended by this and trumped "make our bangers British" or some such nonsense. So we leave the EU.
However, a bunch of British sausage makers want to sell their sausages in the EU. They can only do that if they follow the EU standards and regulations. And so they do.
Now the British sausage maker is following the EU rules but as absolutely NO control over what those rules are.
Whether it is sausages, contract negotiation or anything else; we will still follow the EU rules.
