It is central to our vision that we must have the ability to set laws that suit us \u2014 to claim the right that every other non-EU country in the world has,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo to think that we might accept EU supervision on so-called level playing field issues simply fails to see the point of what we are doing. It isnt a simple negotiating position which might move under pressure \u2014 it is the point of the whole project,\u201d he adds, signaling again that the level playing field issue is set to be a major crunch point in the talks.<\/p>\n<p>Frost points out that U.K. standards have in some cases been higher than those required by Brussels.
