Looks like the CAA is going to be doing the begging that the FAA will accept their work once they are out of EASA. If the CAA certification can't measure up to FAA standards, the world's largest aviation market will take its business elsewhere.
As cited above:
The UK aerospace industry, which has a highly-regulated global supply chain, relies on membership of EASA to maintain common safety and certification standards that are also acceptable to the US safety agency, the Federal Aviation Administration.
From the article DaveReidUK posted:
Aerospace companies based in countries without aviation regulatory compliance with EASA [or the FAA] find selling aerospace products and providing aviation services to the US and Europe, and indeed other countries outside their immediate jurisdiction, difficult and subject to additional work. This is because EASA and the US FAA standards form the benchmark for products and services so companies will be required to show their products match up to these benchmark standards.
