Original caption: Britain’s “Brexit” is only a month away, EU negotiators: the two sides still have big differences
Britain officially “Brexit” on January 31 this year, and entered an 11-month transition period ending on December 31. Barnier, the main European Union negotiator, will hold talks with Frost, the main Brexit negotiator, on the night of November 27, but also said there are still “big differences” between the two sides.
According to a Reuters report on the 27th, Barnier said on Twitter that day that he would go to London that night to continue “Brexit” negotiations with Frost, but also said there were still “big differences” between the two sides. He wrote: “Negotiations are still blocked on three issues: fisheries, state aid, and cross-sector dispute resolution mechanisms. So far, neither side has shown willingness to make enough changes on these three issues.”
Barnier once held a closed-door briefing on “Brexit negotiations” at the European Commission. A diplomat told reporters after the briefing: “If the British side does not make the necessary decisions quickly, an agreement is almost reached. It is impossible. Time passes quickly, and there are only a few days left for further negotiations.” A source close to the negotiations said it is “quite difficult” to advance the negotiations.
According to previous reports, if the UK and Europe fail to reach a trade deal during the transition period, the two sides will return to the WTO framework and re-implement border inspections and tariffs, increasing trade costs. Britain and the EU have set a “deadline” for negotiations on many occasions, but Reuters reported that the “deadline” saw “innumerable progress” due to a deadlock in the negotiations. A diplomat also said in an interview with Reuters that the prospects for the current negotiations “are not bright.”
According to the report, EU envoys abroad have called on the European Commission to urgently prepare to take emergency action for a no-deal “Brexit,” but an EU diplomat said Barnier was unwilling to take the “emergency route” and still believe it can be reached. protocol.
