That excerpt says exactly the same I wrote. Jersey is in the Customs Union (like Turkey) but is not abridged by an FTA for full integration in the common market.

Re: Wikipedia (none / 1)
Did I write anything different? As an aside, I have a friend working in the financial services industry in Luxembourg who thinks that Jersey's financial pass porting rights into the EU Single Market work just fine and will serve as a model for the UK when they leave the EU.  

I have difficulty in believing the EU will give the UK the same deal as Jersey.  Indeed, I suspect the EU may well use Brexit as an opportunity to end jersey's special deal given the current focus on eliminating tax havens.
