The rejection is a blow to an influential cross-party group https://www.theguardian.com/politics...us-brexit-plan
They want a trade deal before the end of the year ... read the original article properly. They want access to our financial markets that they had before when we were EU members. Now we have left we can give them much better terms than the EU ever could, that's why I said they could leave the single market and instead align closer to the UK.
Your article is 2 years old by the way

Do they really take phone calls in the meeting? Or is it so that they can play games?
Or, maybe they are recoding everything so that they have "evidence" of what was said?

Probably checking how they are doing in the polls
Or waiting for the call from Rutte to say he's given in

It is characteristic of all committee discussions and decisions that every member has a vivid recollection of them and that every member’s recollection of them differs violently from every other member’s recollection. Consequently, we accept the convention that the official decisions are those and only those which have been officially recorded in the minutes by the officials, from which it emerges with an elegant inevitability that any decision which has been officially reached will have been officially recorded in the minutes by the officials and any decision which is not recorded in the minutes has not been officially reached even if one or more members believe they can recollect it, so in this particular case, if the decision had been officially reached it would have been officially recorded in the minutes by the officials, and it isn’t so it wasn’t.

Re: Excellent News for Trade and Fisheries
HiNorway have made their choice.
Not part of the EU but still in the Single Market.
They are happy with that.
They are also free to sign a Free trade Deal with the UK, but as they have pointed out, it will not be on such favourable terms as we have now.
We have gone our own way.
It is now up to Boris to make a success of it.
Norway is a very different Country to us, it is a very high Tax Socialist Country with a huge Sovereign Wealth Fund.
They are very well placed to weather the storm.

They also don't have access to our financial markets in 6 months.
And Norway is not a socialist country it has a mixed economy like ours the USA, Germany etc etc.

Doesn't mean anything at all. High taxes are not necessarily an indicator of socialism, its just one of their principles.
For example, the USA also high taxes but it is far from socialist.
Norway also has a very small population and a lot of natural resources.
