The Brexit Committee of the British Parliament gave its own government a bad rating: decisions at the end of the transition phase were taken “too late”. Communication is “incomplete at best”.
The Brexit Committee of the British Parliament has clearly criticized the government’s preparations for the end of the transition period on December 31. Decisions were made “too late” and communication with the companies was “spotty at best,” according to a report published in London.
The police could be forced to use “slower and more cumbersome” systems; it was “unlikely” that an agreement would be reached in time to replace the European arrest warrant, according to the report.
Seven more days
The government is still unable to inform businesses, traders and citizens with certainty about what will happen in the areas affected by negotiations with the EU on a trade pact, committee chair Hilary Benn said.
“With only seven business days left in the transition, significant concerns remain.”
The government must be ready to implement emergency plans, demanded the politician from the opposition Labor Party.
Without a contract, there are trade barriers
Britain left the EU on February 1, but the country will remain in the EU internal market and in the customs union until the end of the year. Brussels and London are still negotiating a follow-up agreement.
Meanwhile, the time for timely ratification of a planned trade agreement is extremely short. If no deal is reached, there is a risk of tariffs and other trade barriers between Britain and the EU. In this case, significant delays are expected in freight traffic in the English Channel.
Yesterday, the European Parliament approved emergency measures for a no-deal Brexit. These are plans for the areas of fishing, air safety, and air and road traffic.
