"They will be in line with the commitments we made back in December, including the commitment that no new regulatory barriers should be created between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK unless the Northern Ireland Executive and the Assembly agree," added the secretary.
"We continue to engage constructively with the EU, we continue to press our case," said Raab.
EU negotiators effectively want Northern Ireland to stay within their customs union and single market as a way or avoiding a hard border with the Irish Republic which will remain as an EU member Keir Starmer, shadow Brexit secretary for the main opposition Labor Party said Raab's statement would have been much better coming from Prime Minister May.
Referring to a recent meeting of EU leaders where May's blueprint was rejected, Starmer added: "It should be up to Theresa May to let the House (of Commons) know what went wrong in the Salzburg negotiations.
That meeting in Austria prompted an angry response from May, saying EU leaders had shown Britain a lack of respect.
He warned that a vague deal would be like asking Britain to jump into the unknown, adding the Labor would not support that.
"No government has the right to plunge the country into chaos because of its own failing," said Starmer.
The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) politician Nigel Dodds, said his party would not accept any deal that separates Northern Ireland from the rest of Britain. May's minority government relies on support from the 10 DUP MPs to give her a majority in the British parliament.
