Großbritanniens Premierminister Boris Johnson mit Außenminister Heiko Maas "Keep calm and carry on", some of you are no doubt muttering. But that’s not an easy thing for us to do. After all, you are still the masters of British cool-headedness – with or without Brexit. So allow me to say, in the direct German way: It hurts that you are leaving. Not just because the European Union is losing 66 million citizens and one of its strongest economies.
Fortunately, things have changed. Nobody has fallen off the cliff with a no-deal Brexit. Almost 5 million people who have relied on the right of freedom of movement and built a life in the UK or another EU country will be able to live, work or study where they are for the rest of their lives. Our companies will have more time to adapt to the new situation, thanks to the transition period until the end of 2020.
So let me say very openly: Yes, we all want zero tariffs and zero trade barriers, but that also means zero dumping and zero unfair competition. Without similar standards to protect our workers, our consumers and the environment, there can be no full access to the largest single market in the world. Some people say that the UK should be punished for leaving the EU in the negotiations to come. I would consider that a grave mistake.
