UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson will talk online with EU organization leaders including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Monday.
Psssst. Over here! Lift the tarpaulin and dust down the jargon. Brexit is back on the political menu. Whether you voted for it or not, now is the time to start staying up and listening once again.
It begins with Monday’s online conference between UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and EU organization leaders (the president of the European Council, Commission and Parliament).
I understand you’ve seen countless “make or break tops”, so many “due dates” reoccur, so many threats of “no deal” that came to nought.
So here is an attempt to attempt and help navigate what’s spin and what you ought to be looking out for. More insights – including deal-making tips from a professional captive negotiator – in my podcast here
First off, Brexit has, obviously, “occurred”. The UK left the EU at the end of January. However we’re not yet living the next chapter. The shift period we’re in ways that, in practical terms, bit has changed. The UK is still a member of the EU’s single market and customizeds union. The UK isn’t going it alone, just.
The EU and UK have till completion of this month – according to the Withdrawal Arrangement, aka the Brexit divorce offer – to call for an extension to shift. However the UK federal government has long declined the idea. On Friday, the EU openly accepted that UK “no” as conclusive.
So, there are six months left to negotiate, sign and seal the criteria of the UK’s future relationship with its most significant and closest trade partner.
That’s 6 months delegated jeopardize.
Due to the fact that without compromise – on both sides – there will be no trade deal come completion of this year.
That is why it’s worth keeping a better eye on things again. The UK federal government assured a brighter future post-Brexit – a reclaiming of control over national borders, waters and immigration.
The next half-a-year is when we learn if it will keep those guarantees.
What compromises, if any, will the UK federal government make on its Brexit pledges in order to reach a trade handle the EU and others?
And if the UK declines to jeopardize, how might having no offer at all with the EU impact our lives?
Today, EU-UK trade settlements are at an impasse, due to the fact that of political concerns both sides of the Channel.
The government turns down EU demands on competitors policies and fishing because, it says, they fail to respect the UK’s post Brexit nationwide sovereignty.
