We have the option to reject certain EU-rules, and can negotiate special exemptions into our agreement. Norway has some exemptions in fishing rights that are central to our agreement. Under the previous government we also rejected the EU Postal Directive, though the current government has since accepted it.

The UK always got special treatment while they were in the EU. No other country was allowed to come even close. Which made Brexit so much more surprising to the EU.
