I believe, as members of the EU, the UK really does influence the Standards and Regulations which the EU creates. I have seen this as a UK expert on the Standards Committee I work on. If we leave, we will have no influence but exporters will still have to meet the standards created without our input. This will be the worst of all worlds.

Well said Jane; Even those with only half a brain will be with you. Leaving will be a disaster.
