‘Brexit is like climbing a mountain. We need vigilance, determination and patience,' says EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier. More here:
BRUSSELS - The European Union and Britain agreed on Friday to hold intense talks over the next few days in a bid to secure a deal over Britain’s departure from the bloc, but arrangements over British-Irish border controls remain at issue, the EU said.
But British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said it was not yet a “done deal” and the United Kingdom was still ready to leave the EU without one if necessary. “The EU’s position remains the same: there must be a legally operative solution in the Withdrawal Agreement that avoids a hard border on the island of Ireland, protects the all-island economy and the Good Friday Agreement in all its dimensions, and safeguards the integrity of the Single Market,”The 1998 Good Friday Agreement ended three decades of sectarian and political conflict in Northern Ireland that killed more than 3,500 people.
If negotiators fail to reach agreement “then we have to be ready, as this country is and will be, to come out with no deal if we absolutely have to,” Johnson said. But to get a deal done, Prime Minister Boris Johnson must also sell any deal to the British parliament, which he suspended unlawfully last month and where he has no majority. Parliament has passed a law saying that Britain cannot leave the bloc without a deal.
