May gets plowing behind sweet brexit, now Europe again

Theresa May sat for hours with her ministers to decide on the British strategy for brexit. The tensions of had risen sharply in recent days because the hard-liners of their government were frustrated.

But the prime minister managed to eliminate the resistance in his own ranks and bring his ministers behind a plan that tends to "brexit sweet". . "Today, the government has reached a common position after long discussions for the future of our negotiations with the European Union," he concluded Friday night

for goods ". The United Kingdom has the power to set its own import duties and enter into new free trade agreements.

"Our proposal will create a free trade zone between the EU and Britain, which contains rules for trade in agricultural and industrial products", according to May's statement.

For the important service sector in the United Kingdom, including the financial sector, there will be another, more "flexible" arrangement.

The text refers to the creation of a common customs territory & # 39; ] – the word "customs union" is avoided – the maintenance of the right of the British to collect their own import duties and pursue their own trade policies.

In the British proposal the free movement of persons . Instead, a "mobility framework" with new rules for British and European citizens will travel or work in the territory of the other.

A "hard line" between Ireland and Northern Ireland, or between Northern Ireland and Great Britain, does not see the May government. The United Kingdom no longer wants to come under the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.

May and co. also agreed that parliament has a say on the brexit . He may decide to follow the EU rules and guidelines

and the government prepares the preparations for the scenario that no agreement is reached for brexit.

Time beats mercilessly: on On March 29, 2019 Brexit is a fact, but this fall, Brexit's agreement with Brussels should actually be around. In spite of this strong temporal pressure, conservative and conservative moderates, two years after the referendum on Brexit, continued to bicker incessantly. The agreement is therefore a victory for May.

In a May reaction of speaks "an important step" in the negotiations. "Of course, we still have a lot of work with the EU to get to the end of October," she said. "But it is good that we have arrived at a positive future for the UK today, after our detailed discussions." Next week, the Prime Minister will publish a white paper

It is doubtful that the new proposal of May is enough to convince the European partners. The chief negotiator of the European Union for Brexit, Michel Barnier, says in a brief response to look at the white paper. "We will examine the proposals to see if they are achievable and realistic," says the Frenchman on Twitter

Supporters of a "sweet brexit" react to the deal. But the members of the Conservative Party who stood before [ hard brexit showed all their disenchantment.

Jacob Rees-Mogg, one of the conservative spokesmen for a tough brexit, said on BBC Radio 4 that he would not approve a plan that goes beyond the "lines" red. " Although he is waiting for details on what May and his ministers have decided, he has given an unaccounted for shot. The UK can not really get out of the European Union.

"It is as with the eggs .If they are cooked gently, they are not cooked.A very sweet brexit means that we do not leave the EU.This n & rsquo; It was not that this country voted for t. And that's not what the Prime Minister promised. "

Other hard brexiters – such as & # 39; Andrea Jenkyns – also said "pray" that the details of the agreement would not be as terrible as they fear . is like with eggs. If they are cooked slowly, they are not cooked. A very sweet brexit means that we do not leave the EU.
