Brexit: Boris Johnson is a lot to MPs

Feb 16,2020 7:18 am

Boris Johnson sets out his proposals for a Brexit deal in Parliament, while the leader of the EU also consider your reaction.

He outlined the plans on Wednesday would see Northern Ireland stay in the European single market for goods, however, the customs Union - what is in the new customs controls.

The European Commission has welcomed the "progress" but said the problems remained.

The PM says that the UK leaving the EU on 31 October, with or without a deal.

He insists he will not ask for a further extension, if no agreement is reached, in spite of the legislation, which is designed to force him to, unless to confirm that MPs pass a deal or a no deal Brexit before the 19 October. to lead

the Irish Prime Minister , Leo Varadkar , whose attitude is expected, how the EU is responding, said the British concept of "not fully meet the agreed objectives of the backstop". The return barrier is a mechanism designed to avoid a hard limit on The Island of Ireland after Brexit.

But, he added, he would study the proposals, "more Details".

the President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker speaks to Mr Varadkar has said The Commission .

The British government hopes to be the beginning of a Phase of intensive negotiations aimed at reaching a final agreement at the EU summit on 17. October.

Brexit-Secretary Stephen Barclay Bbc Breakfast said that The Plan of government laid down by the EU "serious proposals" and were recognized by the EU chief negotiator, Michel Barnier , as such.

He said both sides "recognize that it is better to have a deal" and the negotiations "are intensively done and in the next few days".

It will be subject to further talks on Friday, "as today unfolds," Mr. Barclay said.

Many EU politicians feared, before she saw it, that The Plan , which would show the Prime Minister was the focus on a local audience, to an upcoming national election and not the cooperation with the EU.

But I have spoken to A Number of EU diplomats this evening, which is to say that some of the proposals were better than expected.

But she stressed there are very large differences between the Two Sides .

The EU has A Number of concerns when it offer to the Prime Minister 's.

the European Commission says before it can think of, the compromise has A Number of detailed questions for the government, if it is properly digested The Paper .

The head of the EU, the large, flashing concern at the end of the lights, coming down to the inch.

It is feared that the Prime Minister , the offer could be exposed to a threat to the peace process in Northern Ireland and the single market, after the Escape. These are two big no-nos for the EU.

Looking Forward , you have to come to an agreement and unanimity among themselves,

an idea in the UK, the EU heads of state and heads of government will, in turn, to Ireland and say, "you have to compromise, because we want to make a deal with the UK" is not that we can hear, behind the scenes or in public.

What's The Plan ?

The PM's Brexit plan details a replacement for the Irish cross-border "backstop" in the current Brexit agreement.

The backstop is the controversial "insurance", which meant to keep a free-flowing border on The Island of Ireland, but critics - including the PM - afraid of time could trap the UK in the EU trade for an indefinite period.

Under Mr. Johnson's suggestions, what he calls a "wide zone" for a New Deal with the EU:

The government of a "New Deal for Northern Ireland promises" to help with financial obligations, the management of changes.

How was the reaction of the politicians?

saying it would allow Northern Ireland to leave the customs Union and the single market at the same time as the rest of the UK.

The Party 's Westminster leader Nigel Dodds told Bbc Breakfast that the proposals will "remove the case" the return and he said they were "a huge improvement".

However, criticised the other Northern Irish parties on the proposals.

Sinn Fein , the plans called a "non-starter", The Social democratic and Labour Party said they were "dead on arrival", and the Ulster Unionist Party argued in Northern Ireland would be left in a "perpetual cycle of insecurity".

said Irish Minister for European Affairs, Helen Mcentee , there were "concerns" and "obvious challenges" with The Plan .

"I've always said, there are reasons for a deal, but there are important objectives that we must fulfill: the protection of the Good Friday agreement and for the prevention of cross-border infrastructure, protection of the economy and the internal market," She Said .

Several Conservative MPs rejected Theresa May , the retreat to the agreement signaled their support. Leading Brexiteer Steve Baker said it was would "very likely" the offer, by the Parliament.

And fellow Brexiteer Bernard Jenkin told BBC Radio 4 's Today programme it was "a mood for compromise," and "very strong reasons for optimism", such as "the people want to get this done".

But head of the Labour Party , Jeremy Corbyn said The Deal was "acceptable" and the Lib-dem is accused of Jo Swinson , Mr. Johnson, "ernst says, and a deal".

Labour MP Hilary Benn , Chairman of The Commons Brexit Committee, called the proposals "worse than Theresa May 's", namely: "How will it help peace and stability in Northern Ireland , when every four years there is a divisive debate about whether the consequences of the UK-or EU-legislation?"

the Scottish First Minister and SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon said the proposals were "designed to fail".

If the EU and the UK cannot agree, a business of MPs from the 19th century. In October, the Prime Minister is compelled, by the Benn-Act in search of an extension of the Brexit negotiation process, unless the lower house votes without an offer.

But the Prime Minister has repeatedly insisted that Britain leave the EU at 31. October, with or without a deal, and that he did not ask for an extension.
