Original title: The “Brexit” trade deal negotiations between Britain and Europe are on the brink of collapse, and the European Parliament sets a “deadline”
Author: Aoki
[Aoki, periodista del Global Times]The European Parliament set 23:00 GMT on the 20th as the deadline for the UK and the EU to adopt a “Brexit” trade deal before the end of the year. However, this date may be the latest in a series of “deadlines” that London and Brussels have not met since the start of the “Brexit” negotiations. According to reports from the media Agence France-Presse, BBC and other outlets, the negotiating parties took a tough position on the issue of fishing rights and refused to compromise. Negotiations were on the brink of collapse on the 20th. “The narrow roads where the agreement was reached have turned into small intestines and are on the verge of disappearing,” said an EU official.According to an Agence France-Presse report on the 20th, the negotiations between Europe and Great Britain were on the brink of collapse that day, and both sides insisted on their views on the issue of fishing rights. Barnier, the main negotiator on the EU’s “Brexit” issues, gave the condition that EU fishers give up almost a quarter of the current fishing value in British waters. Britain is reported to insist that the EU give up more than half of this value. The UK expects this deal to only last for three years before renegotiating it. Europe insisted on doubling this period.
Both London and Brussels are asking each other to make bigger concessions. According to British media reports, British Health Secretary Hancock accused the EU of making unreasonable demands. He believes that Britain and the EU can still reach a trade deal, but this obviously requires EU action. However, an EU official told Agence France-Presse that Brussels had given the best conditions and that it was now British Prime Minister Johnson’s turn to decide whether he wanted to reach an agreement. According to reports from German television 1 and the BBC, the European Union has stated on many occasions that if there is no compromise on the issue of fishing rights, Europe and Great Britain will not reach a trade agreement. British government sources said that unless Brussels makes a “significant change” in the coming days, there will be no trade agreement between the UK and the EU.
Agence France-Presse and other media said on the 20th that in the Haiti Channel Tunnel, British companies were frantically hoarding goods and trucks were lining up, highlighting the urgency of reaching a trade agreement between Britain and Europe. The source said that the UK is increasingly likely to “toughen Brexit”, meaning that from 1 January next year, the UK and the EU will manage imports and exports in accordance with the rules of the World Trade Organization. However, the good news is that EU governments have not recognized the final negotiation deadline set by the European Parliament. Negotiations between Britain and Europe can continue. According to reports from the BBC, the two parties can decide whether they can reach an agreement before Christmas.
