Well, not really.

There are areas where our trade is stifled due to EU regs - the CAP and CFP are the most famous, but there's a general problem that, because we are part of the EU, our internal and external trade goods must ALL follow EU regs, regardless of where they go.

The basic problem is that EU membership allows the extraction of British resources to the detriment of British business.
