EU countries are defying their own chief negotiator and mulling a bumper trade deal for Britain, The Sun can reveal.
A “Brexit trade note”, meant for diplomats’ eyes only, suggests a Canada-style (CETA) agreement championed by Michel Barnier would be insufficient. Instead it is far more flattering of a deal based on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), which was thrashed out with Barack Obama but never signed.

True, the EU did contemplate pushing this further in the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with the US, tentatively exploring the idea of equivalence, or accepting trading partners’ rules if they were judged to produce the same outcome. Despite vast tomes produced on the subject, including this 530-page page-turner on vehicle crash test standards, those talks, along with the rest of TTIP, went almost nowhere.
Britain, the EU and post-Brexit regulation
So, to what extent is the UK or even the EU going to get a version of TTIP?
Well, we've had more 'leaks':

This is because of something called “investor-state dispute settlement.” It’s already part of some trade deals America has with other countries, and when it was proposed as part of negotiations of an earlier trade deal, known as TTIP, leading lawyers warned it could pose a “real and serious risk” to our NHS.
