The problem the UK has had, again & again, after Brexit is the desire to leave the EU but to retain the advantages of being a member;
unsurprisingly, the EU Commission has been unwilling to extend that sort of deal to the UK; so once again (this time in the UK's inability to see that leaving the EU's regime for product testing might cause some issues for exporters) the EU by merely enforcing the Bloc's rules is seen as obstructive.
Err, no; we chose to leave!

@ChrisMayLA6@mastodon.me.uk If you see a club, and think "I would like to have all of those club advantages" then you have two choices: 1. Join the club to get those advantages 2. Do not join the club and do not get those advantages You cannot look at the Scouts and say to yourself "I want to do all those amazing things with them" and then complain when they say "No, unless you join" because you refused to join!
