BRUSSELS - The European Union can give Britain the unilateral right to leave their customs union after Brexit, chief negotiator Michel Barnier said on Friday in a bid to push their divorce deal over the line in the divided British parliament.
Barnier’s basic idea would keep Northern Ireland in the EU’s trade orbit, something already rejected previously by London in the hard-fought Brexit negotiations as weakening the province’s ties to the rest of the United Kingdom. Sky News Northern Ireland correspondent David Blevins quoted Democratic Unionist Party sources as saying the Barnier proposal showed “no respect to the constitutional and economic integrity of the United Kingdom. It’s a non-starter.”
The eurosceptic wing of May’s Conservative party fears the backstop could trap the UK in the EU’s trading rules forever. While Barnier’s latest proposal would make legally binding commitments of the assurances on the backstop that the EU had already offered in January, it is unlikely to be seen as enough by many of the hardline eurosceptics in the Conservative party.
Backstop wasn't May's idea It's Elephant in the Room kicking Can into the long grass with Common Market & perhaps since Henry VIII! How Long is a Piece of Umbilical Cord; Back-Stop a gross misnomer in EU Statutes; It's an umbilical-cord now owned by Ireland & Brussels
LOL looks like Brits still haven't learnt that the EU and rest of the world is not out to 'impress' them. At least they'll have plenty of opportunity to do so post-Brexit.
Weres my brexit gone, I don’t know what it looks like. Mummy the big boy won’t give me what i want.
Strange , the Brits seem to not like any deal that's offered but also don't want to go deal-less. What do they want? Brexit without the Brexit? Not possible. I see a lot of future economic pain in their future just because they can't face reality.
The EU will implode. Move away - fast.
Lol
Dear Xenophobes/cowards/Bigots in the UK: Let your country crash out of the EU. Re-create the hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland for renewed violence. Let your economy collapse before you while you claim to be a proud Brit. Such stupidity.
oh yes, the thing the UK rejected and the reason the UK wide backstop was put in place in the first place ....
It looks like this Brexit Deal was not well enough cooked for UK tastes. Time to put it back on the grill and charcoal it a bit more.
Britain might not be impressed, but NI wants that deal.
His last ditch offer was rejected as unacceptable more than a year ago. The commission does not want a deal - it would nullify its anti-US superstate folly. The euronationalist loons in Brussels do not care what harm they do to member states, their ambition trumps all.
