英国苏格兰大臣道格拉斯·亚历山大表示，与欧盟建立更紧密的贸易关系比与其他国家单独谈判自由贸易协议能为英国带来更大的经济利益1。亚历山大指出，欧盟仍然是英国最大贸易伙伴，英国与欧盟的贸易额几乎是与美国贸易额的两倍，且欧盟贸易占英国总贸易的近一半1。他强调英国已因脱欧承受了经济代价，认为欧洲对英国未来贸易和繁荣至关重要1。
亚历山大表示，即使加强与欧盟的贸易关系意味着放弃与其他国家单独谈判协议的能力，这个权衡仍然值得1。他指出预计下月召开的欧盟峰会将成为谈判更紧密贸易关系的重要机会，并预期该峰会有望在排放、电力和农产品领域达成新的贸易协议1。此外，英国政府对欧盟"欧洲制造"政策的保护主义措施表示担忧1。
UK Scotland Secretary Douglas Alexander has argued that strengthening trade relations with the European Union represents a more valuable economic prize for Britain than pursuing independent trade agreements with other nations, even if such closer ties require sacrificing the ability to negotiate bilateral deals separately.1
Alexander emphasized that the EU remains Britain's largest trading partner, with UK-EU trade valued at approximately twice the level of Anglo-American commerce.1 He acknowledged that Britain has already borne economic costs from Brexit and stressed that Europe remains essential to the country's future trade prospects and prosperity.1
Alexander stated: "Europe remains essential to our future trade and prosperity."1
The Scottish minister indicated that an EU summit scheduled for next month presents a significant opportunity to negotiate closer trade relationships, potentially encompassing new agreements on emissions, electricity, and agricultural products.1 The UK government has expressed concern about EU "Made in Europe" policies and their protectionist implications.1
