German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said in a Die Zeit article that “we all want zero tariffs and zero trade barriers” between EU and UK. However, “that also means zero dumping and zero unfair competition.”
He emphasized, “Without similar standards to protect our workers, our consumers and the environment, there can be no full access to the largest single market in the world.”
Mass also urged that EU and UK must conduct the negotiations regarding post-Brexit relationship in a way that “won’t harm the European Union”.
