not allowed to make other arrangements
More like can't be bothered to make other arrangements. Look at it, they had a bloc of 28 countries they could have exactly the same arrangements for. Then one decided it wanted to make its own arrangements and the big company just thought they'd manage just fine with the 27 and lose the market from the one. They made enough money from that, no point in making different arrangements for just one country in that territory.
And Brexit contributed to that situation, no matter how much people want to deny it. No Brexit and the above situation wouldn't have come into being.
