The Latest: A German trade association welcomes the extension to Britain's Brexit deadline.
A German trade association is welcoming the extension to Britain’s Brexit deadline but says the uncertainty caused by Britain’s protracted deliberations is not helping anyone.
BGA adds “this crippling uncertainty clouds the mood and leaves its economic impact on both sides of the Channel.”A senior German government official is calling on Britain to “deliver right now” on Brexit and says the delay to its departure from the European Union should be “as short as possible.” Manfred Weber, a German who leads the biggest group in the European Parliament, said Europe showed “patience and unity” to avoid a damaging ‘no-deal’ Brexit but “the political uncertainty in London has been extended, which risks affecting debates about the future of Europe.”
He also said the EU is “likewise a brutal trading partner with the United States” and promised that will change.Conservative Party legislator Ken Clarke says he does not believe British Prime Minister Theresa May will be able to convince the party to back her Brexit withdrawal deal. Clarke says the only way forward is for May’s government to compromise with the Labour Party to produce a consensus.
Sturgeon has been a staunch opponent of Brexit and said “Scotland’s interests must be protected” in any agreement.
