BELFAST (Reuters) – The head of the North Irish party that backs Premier's government, Theresa May, said Tuesday that an agreement on Brexit would be "eminently possible" in the coming weeks, but that It would not accept different regulations from those of the rest of the United Kingdom.
In an interview before a meeting with the EU's chief negotiator for Brexit, Michel Barnier, Foster reiterated his refusal of any new regulatory or customs barrier between Britain and Northern Ireland – but declared with will that the agreement would be possible.
"We can not let the UK single market get in this way and that is the message we are going to send to Michel Barnier today." There can be no regulatory barriers between us and the rest of the UK, "she said.
"I want to see an agreement that works for everyone and I think it's eminently possible if the political will is there for that to happen," Foster told BBC Radio Ulster.
The border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland is the blocking point of the Brexit negotiations between Britain and the European Union. Both parties are trying to find a way to monitor and regulate cross-border trade.
EU sources told Reuters on Thursday that EU negotiators saw the broad outlines of a compromise on the Irish border issue, thus hoping that a new offer would be forthcoming. could lead to an agreement.
