It’s unclear though what UK brings to the table, i.e. why should EU (and not single countries) accept those bilateral agreements. Reciprocal benefits are the reason why countries are part of the union.

I'm sure EU can think of something it can benefit the union, and humiliate the UK in the process (because we need to learn what humility is).
