“Barnier hope even in the orderly brexit”
“the EU’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, on a visit in Stockholm in front of yet another packed brexitvecka.”
“He has not given up hope that the Uk can leave the EU in an orderly manner, but the ball is in the british.”
“– We are waiting and hoping for a positive outcome of the negotiations between Theresa May and the opposition, ” says Michel Barnier.”
“– the Answer is in London, not in Stockholm or Brussels.”
“in the Past, Michel Barnier sounded more pessimistic. After that the prime minister, Theresa May failed to get the support of his utträdesavtal with the EU and the british parliament voted no to all the options put forward so noted Barnier that it most likely is a hard brexit, the Uk will leave without a contract.”
“he says not now, but refers to the conversations that are going on in London between Theresa May and labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. In the parliament work is also on to get support for a proposal that would force Theresa May to request more time for brexit when she hits the other 27 EU leaders at an extraordinary EUROPEAN union summit next Wednesday.”
” We follow what’s happening in London. The british prime minister must speak about what she want, ” said Barnier, who also points out that it is not he who determines how long an extension it can be – it is up to EU leaders to decide.”
“the EUROPEAN commission president Jean-Claude Juncker, however, was very clear on Wednesday that the EU does not intend to go with a shorter extension, if not utträdesavtalet approved by april 12.”
“To Theresa May avoid to the Uk crashing out of the EUROPEAN union without a contract then she must ask for a longer extension. This, in turn, means that the Uk must participate in the elections to the european Parliament at the end of may.”
