LONDON: Prime Minister Theresa May called on her government to do its homework and agree on a plan for Britain's future outside of the European Union, a last call to ministers to put the Brexit behind them and make a "step forward."

Few hours before organizing a meeting at his residence Friday, she hopes to overcome the deep divisions that hindered Britain's plans for Brexit. May urged his cabinet to agree on a way to continue talks with the EU.

A united government position can not come soon enough for an increasingly frustrated EU and for many companies, which have multiplied warnings on the risk of tens of thousands of jobs if Britain leave the block without agreement.

But the first details of May's new plan for the future British customs ties – a "" The firm meets at Checkers … to agree on the form of our future relationship with Europe, "said Brexit spokesperson Syndicat.While doing so, we have a great opportunity – and a duty," said May before his ministers leave for the 16th century manor, at 40 miles northwest of London.

"It's time to take one more step forward. We want an agreement that allows us to take advantage of Brexit – by taking control of our borders, our laws and our money and by signing ambitious new trade agreements with countries like the United States, Australia and New Zealand. On Thursday, May paved the way for overcoming the deep divisions not only of its government, but also of its conservative party, parliament and all of Britain by suggesting a new customs plan for trade to circulate on more freely possible.

Great Britain closely reflects EU rules, uses technology to determine where the goods will end and, therefore, what tariffs must be applied, and will give London the freedom to set its own tariffs on incoming goods. Britain would also be able to enter into trade agreements with other countries, its spokeswoman said.

But Brexit activists, including at least one minister, fear that this plan will keep Great Britain in the European customs sphere. This, say some Brexit supporters, would be a betrayal of its promise of a clean break with the bloc and for Britain to gain the ability to go it alone.

His office has until now made public only a few details of the plan and it can be changed at the Checkers meeting, which should take place all day and perhaps late in the evening .

Even if she finds an agreement at home, May is still struggling to gain EU support. poured cold water on his previous suggestions for customs arrangements and urged the leader to come up with "workable" proposals.

But for the moment, May hopes to focus the spirits at home.

She said in her statement: is to accept an approach that decisively delivers on the verdict of the British people – an approach that is in the best interest of the UK and the EU, and that is crucial, which commands the support of the public and the parliament. "
