We have always been able to "trade with whoever we like, without Europe's permission". 57% of our exports are to non EU countries. One of the problems with leaving the EU is that if no satisfactory trade deal is made we will be facing tariffs and other barriers to trade on the 43% of our exports we send to the EU.
