It affects how easy it is for people in one European country to purchase goods from another European country. It also affects how aligned the regulatory framework of the UK is with the rest of Europe, which impacts the types of goods and services that get made/sold there

You can always expand to that sort of reasoning. There is a difference between "European news vaguely related to trade" and "discussing european goods and services".
