BRUSSELS - Britain’s latest Brexit proposal was bound for a cool reception in the European Union but the bloc stressed it would examine it in detail as both sides seek to sidestep blame over the increasingly intractable divorce.
“We want to look at it objectively. We want to enter into constructive discussions,” spokeswoman Mina Andreeva said. But, behind the officially constructive tone, there is very little hope left in the EU that a deal can be had with London - and ratified by the factious British parliament - before the Oct.31 deadline.An EU diplomat dealing with Brexit said separately that the London plan “won’t fly”.
The 27 EU member states staying on together would not reject a request from Britain to that end because they would not want to be held responsible for any ensuing tremors. The tension raises the stakes before an Oct.17-18 summit of EU leaders at which London hopes to seal a new deal and leave two weeks later.Johnson wants to change a Withdrawal Agreement that his predecessor Theresa May had negotiated with the bloc but which then failed three times in the British parliament.
These are: maintaining a fully open border between Northern Ireland and Ireland, protecting the EU single market, and maintaining the north-south cooperation made possible by the 1998 peace deal that ended three decades of conflict.
