An agreement on the future relationship between the EU and Britain will take longer to agree than the 11-month transition period that begins when the UK leaves the bloc at the end of January, EU’s chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said
STOCKHOLM - A comprehensive agreement on the future relationship between the European Union and Britain will take longer than the 11-month transition period that begins when the UK leaves the EU on Jan. 31, the EU’s chief negotiator said on Thursday.
The negotiations are likely to be tough, especially as the EU says that access to the single market will be proportional to how closely Britain sticks to EU rules.“We are ready to do our best and to do the maximum in the 11 months to secure a basic agreement with the UK, but we will need more time to agree on each and every point of this political declaration,” the EU’s Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said in a speech in Stockholm.
“Competing on social and environmental standards can only lead to a race to the bottom that puts workers, consumers and the planet on the losing side,” Barnier said.
