London (dpa) – The new Brexit strategy of the British Prime Minister Theresa May meets more and more critics in parliament.
Monday, May drew the wrath of pro-European MPs from its conservative party when the government signaled that it wanted to accept several changes brought by Brexit extremists to a new customs law for the post-exit period from the EU.
Among other things, a customs agreement with the EU must be subordinated to Brussels' willingness to collect two different customs duties at the EU's external borders: one for goods destined for Great Britain and another for goods destined for Britain's EU. London wants to implement the complex system in accordance with May's plan on its own external borders to prevent border controls of the EU.
Representatives of Britain's close ties with the EU fear that it is less likely to reach an agreement with the EU because Brussels is unlikely to be d & # 39; agreement.
Last week, Foreign Minister Boris Johnson and Brexit Minister David Davis resigned in the conflict over the May Brexit plan. Both spoke Monday, but remained surprisingly small. Johnson called in a column in the "Telegraph" only to more national confidence. Davis spoke in the parliamentary debate against a customs agreement with the EU, but called on his party friends to vote in the upcoming votes, not against the government.
The former Minister of Education, Justine Greening, clearly criticized May's new Brexit strategy. Mays' plans are a clever compromise, but "would not fit," but only lead to deadlock in parliament, she said on BBC Radio. As a solution, she proposed a second referendum. However, such a government rejected immediately.
Also on Tuesday, he could return to a slugfest in parliament, when the third reading of the Commercial Code is over.
