The head of the British Brexit party, Nigel Farage, has declared his fight for the UK to leave the EU. “The war is over,” Farage wrote on Twitter after the EU and Britain announced a breakthrough in the negotiations for a Brexit trade pact. Prime Minister Boris johnson He will be seen as the one who carried out Brexit, Farage said in a video linked to Twitter.
“Maybe not perfect, but still: He did what he had promised,” the Erz-Brexiteer said appreciatively. Farage feels that in some details, such as fishing, the pure Brexit doctrine of total control was not applied. “But overall, the war is over.”
Worst avoided
On Christmas Eve, London and Brussels announced a breakthrough in talks on a joint trade pact for the period after the transitional phase of Brexit. At the end of the year, the UK finally leaves the structures of the European Union after almost 40 years of membership. This avoids the worst consequences of divorce.
On the European side, there isn’t enough time until December 31 to ratify the 1,200-plus-page treaty. It should initially enter into force on a provisional basis. Britain’s Parliament must pass a law on December 30 to make the deal effective.
France wants strict controls
After the end of the Brexit transition period, France insists on a massive overhaul of British products by the end of the year. “We have to control the British products that come to us,” he said European Secretary of State Clément Beaune at Sender Europe 1. Food or industrial products must comply with all applicable regulations. The French state recruited some 1,300 people to guarantee these controls.
France is a major hub for British products. About 70 per cent of the trade volume between Britain and the EU passes through the ports of Calais and Dunkirk, in northern France, and the Eurotunnel, as reported by the prefecture of the Hauts-de-France region in the north from France.
Beaune, confidant of the head of state Emmanuel macronannounced an aid program for French fishermen in the tens of millions. “We will go with them,” he said, looking at the fishermen. The trade pact provides for a transition period of five and a half years, during which EU fishermen can fish 25 per cent less in British waters. Fishing is a symbol in France.
