Boris Johnson: Britain is offering Brexit 'compromise' to EU
Britain offered the European Union a proposed last-minute Brexit deal on Wednesday that it said represented a realistic compromise for both sides, as British Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged the bloc to hold “rapid negotiations toward a solution” after years of wrangling.to European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker that not reaching a deal would be “a failure of statecraft for which we would all be responsible.” He did not mention that the EU and the U.K.
“Let’s get Brexit done,” was the repeated refrain to delegates at the conference in Manchester, northwest England. A Brexit agreement between the EU and Johnson’s predecessor, Theresa May, was rejected by the U.K. Parliament, largely because of opposition to the “backstop,” an insurance policy designed to ensure there is no return to customs posts or other infrastructure on the Irish border.
The U.K. proposal does not put a time limit on that status, though it would have to be renewed every four years by the Northern Ireland Assembly. That assembly, however, has been suspended for more than two years by a dispute between the main Unionist and Nationalist power-sharing parties.Under the plan, there would still need to be customs checks, but Johnson suggested they could be carried out away from the border at “other points on the supply chain.
