Brexit: UK urged to 'clarify' new offer to the EU "fundamental changes"

Feb 16,2020 7:18 am

The British the UK's EU envoy David Frost , you will exit again in Brussels on Monday

the United Kingdom has indicated that it could "clarify" his new Brexit offer, after the EU called the "fundamental changes".

talks will continue on Monday after the EU said the UK's proposed alternative to the Irish backstop might not be the "basis" for a legally binding contract.

Britain has said it is working on The Details before then, but it was "not a path" to a deal without alternative arrangements in Northern Ireland .

Boris Johnson has insisted the only options are "New Deal or no deal".

Earlier on Friday, he did say a message on Social Media , it would be "no delay", the withdrawal of great Britain on the 31. October Deadline.

This was submitted despite the government stating in the papers that a Scottish court, that the clock would be adopted in accordance with the legislation by the Parliament, known as the Benn Action.

This required of him a letter to the EU asking for a further three-month-Brexit extension, if no deal is agreed, the of 19. October - A Day after the decisive summit of the European leaders.

Britain has said its new proposals, presented on Wednesday, represent a "significant" shift, and the basis for a "fair and reasonable compromise" after months of standstill.

The BBC's Adam Fleming , said after five hours of talks on Friday, both sides have agreed, the so-called "tunnel" of intensive negotiations on a final text of The Law .

He said the British wanted the process underway by now, however, the EU is concerned that the United Kingdom wants to leave to many details about customs and regulatory audits, agreed upon in Northern Ireland , during the post-Brexit transition time.

The EU negotiators, diplomats said on Friday that the issues and gaps that still remained, and that fundamental changes were necessary to the British blueprint is acceptable.

The UK the European Commission then informed it would do further work over the weekend and may submit clarifications from Monday to emphasize that the EU needs to be needed, replaced in order to "move in pace" and the backstop.

'Close to zero'

Brexit party leader Nigel Farage told the BBC that Mr Johnson fool was "" even if he thought he could make a deal, to say the rates were "floating" close to zero".

He told Radio 4 's questions, the Brexiteers would trust in the Prime Minister "evaporate", if he fails to fulfill his promises to them, the 31. October Deadline.

Labour's Barry Gardiner said seemed to be the same program to be the PM "lying to himself" about the Brexit period of time, and he had to capture a "tangential" to The Truth .

But said the justice Minister, Robert Buckland , the people would have to "way of moving this kind of language" and the PM was "sincere" in his intentions.

Although it was "hard yards" in The Talks , said he was 19. October was an "EON" way, and Mr. Johnson focused on bridging The Gap between the Two Sides .

Anti-British EU exit, say campaigners, Mr Johnson can't be trusted, because of the apparent contradiction between his repeated requests to 31 October seen Brexit and documents the conditions of the Benn are met by the Edinburgh Court of Session, suggesting that he will request a delay if law.

The document emerged during a legal action, initiated by QC-Jo Maugham and SNP-MP-Joanna-Cherry - who is looking for a court decision forcing the clock to the observance of The Law .

'True position'

No 10 has insisted that the government comply with the laws in relation to the Benn law, named after Labour MP Hilary Benn , the leader in its place in The Law .

said a senior Downing Street source, the BBC, The Law "can be interpreted in different ways" and that the government was not prevented from "doing other things" might anticipate that a further delay - which would have to be approved by all other EU-27 countries.

"The government is making their true position on the delay is known in Europe, and that will be public soon," said The Source .

Hungary's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told the BBC it had been asked to "rumors" of his country, a veto for a further extension ", but no such request received".

It came after a video posted on Social Media appeared to show Mr Szijjarto and Hungary's Ambassador to the UK leaving the Cabinet Office building in Whitehall to the beginning of This Week .

Meanwhile, Tory MP Daniel Kawczynski , he is to Act, taking into account the installation of a private legal challenge for Benn, which marked the Handing over act of his critics has said.
