Once we are free to do so again, we can arrange and agree trading partners, just as we have done for centuries. The EEC worked well in that respect too but, as we all know, became a corrupt political power.
We have always had trading standards for as long as I remember. In fact, our standards have been exemplary throughout the world long before the EU appeared.
Poorer states can look after themselves. We already pay through the nose for foreign aid. Again, as everyone knows, what is paid to whom in foreign aid is also corrupt and very poorly organised. As for European states, we can still make alliances with respect to trade that can be of mutual benefit to both them and us.
What we don't need is a dictatorial political organisation to tell us what we may and may not do. We have always been well able to make our own decisions, at least until our current crop of inept politicians appeared.
