The Bundestag elections in 2019: What is meant by "clean-break "Brexit"?

Feb 16,2020 6:02 am

It was a lot of talk about a "clean-break" - British exit the EU so That the UK, its departure from the European Union (EU) and move on.

The Brexit -The Party says leaving the EU, with no deal, there would be a Clean Break .

It is an argument That made The Party leader, Nigel Farage , Many times it was in the run-up to the 31 October date for the leave.

"The only way forward now, on the referendum, is for a Clean Break Brexit ", he told the European Parliament in September. "As soon as we have done, we have an adult conversation about trade and about the way forward. "

Now Mr Farage has, and the "establishment of an Alliance to Leave".

He has proposed, in a very short period of Time to negotiations on a free trade zone with the EU, but with the option to leave the EU without a deal on 1. July 2020, if necessary.

There is a slight change of tack, but it is still based on the idea of no deal to produce a clear break with the EU.

For A Number of reasons That is very unlikely.

What is a no-deal-UK to exit the EU?

No deal mean the UK would leave the EU, without any kind of formal agreement on the conditions for its withdrawal.

specify how it could be much of a shock to The System .

overnight, all the laws and regulations The Relationship between the UK and the rest of the EU would virtually disappear in half a century.

This allows for a transitional period after Brexit . It the UK would leave the EU, but still according to its rules and regulations (for example on trade) for a period of Time .

Brexit Party MEP Ann Widdecombe called for a "clean Brexit "

Mr. Johnson's offer allows for a transition until the end of December 2020 and can be extended by a year or two.

supporters of a such an arrangement will tell, it would. the government and the companies more Time to prepare for a new relationship and try to negotiate things like a free trade agreement

critics (including the Brexit Party ) say it would say the UK is a vassal State - in accordance with EU-regulations, without all of you. In other words, not a Clean Break .

It is an argument That Mr. Johnson himself has several times, before he became Prime Minister .

But even if Brexit happened, without a offer, to talk in bitter circumstances, which would need two pages, start again, sooner rather than later.

What is offers is a mini?

There are those who argue That "no deal" is a misleading term, because A Number of mini-tenders, which has already been done.

But this is wrong.

The EU without consultation with the United Kingdom, to ensure (among other things) for a couple of months, certain financial transactions and the levels can keep flying.

All the benefit from such schemes, but they are only temporary and limited in nature and must be re-negotiated quickly.

The government argues That the EU will be forced to deal with the UK-because - in effect - it is too big and too important, to ignore a partner.

But once again, That the negotiations would intensify, if at all.

the adoption of the EU side is certainly.

"There is no such thing as a Clean Break , not done such a thing as just how it is," said the Irish Prime Minister , Leo Varadkar , during a joint press conference with Mr Johnson in September

"Rather, we enter a new phase. "

supporters of the no deal " to say That the new phase should be used to the negotiation of a free trade agreement.

And they argue That the United Kingdom should not have to pay more, the EU, the estimated £33bn a financial settlement or divorce bill.

But EU leaders have warned, always, if there is to be no agreement, the EU, the fact That The First items to be discussed, which would in subsequent negotiations, the rights of the citizens of the Irish border, and the financial settlement.

exactly the same elements That Make Up the bulk of the deduction agreement.

In other words, before the EU was willing to discuss a free-trade deal, such issues would also need to be clarified.

Easy way?

So the only way the UK could really use a clean-break-the UK's EU-exit is, if you were willing to walk away, at least for a while, from any kind of stable relations with the EU, which account for around half of all UK trade.

That doesn't sound sustainable.

For example, The British food supply is closely connected with the rest of the EU.

"From the point of view of the consumer, there is so much uncertainty, not with a robust business with our largest trading partner," Andrew Opie, from The British Retail Consortium, the Brexit Select Committee recently. "There is no getting away from That . - 80% of the food imported in British supermarkets come from the EU.

"So probably about 25% of what we sell comes from the EU. "

looking for a stable trade relationship in The Future requires long periods of negotiation and good will on both sides and a Clean Break would provide neither.

For anyone who has enough of a Brexit , which is the unpleasant fact That , regardless of the result - Many years of technical discussions and political drama in front of us.

The British politics and public life for the foreseeable Future , seems to dominate.
