In London is still no solution to the dispute over the exit agreement with the EU. Minister Barclay dismissed allegations that the government games on time – and warned of the consequences of the Blockade in the Parliament.

The British Brexit-Minister Stephen Barclay has warned the lower house that it could have at the end only the choice between a disordered Brexit and remaining in the EU. “If we don’t get consent to the withdrawal agreement, the house of Commons in the core of the question is this: is it a ‘No Deal’, or will it blow the outlet,” said Barclay to the members of the upper house.

Barclay stressed that the government play for time. Because you need time for the preparation of a disordered Brexit, there should be no approval for the EU negotiated contract.

No solution in sight and the time

the Prime Minister May want to stick to the timetable.

the UK had moved to the Brexit Referendum in 2016, the so-called article 50 of the EU Treaty, and is planning his exit on 29. March. An extension of the negotiations with the EU is referred to in paragraph three of the article, if all of the 27 other EU agree to States.

Prime Minister Theresa May rejected again, a shift in the exit date: “I believe that it solves any problems, to extend article 50. At some point, the members of this house have to decide whether you want to have no agreement at all, agreement or no Brexit,” she said. At the same time, it has received but also no majority in the British Parliament for the ratification of the withdrawal agreement. You need to the house of Commons on 29. January a new proposal to submit.

Barnier is still hoping to amicable agreement

EU chief negotiator Barnier appealed to the British Parliament, to find a constructive solution.

To the British Parliament, Barnier urged to find a “positive majority” for a proposed solution.

Without the agreement, will not disappear, only the agreed Transition period during which to remain until at least 2020 virtually almost everything, Barnier. In addition, there would also be no basis of trust for future relations between the EU and the UK.
