"There will still be damages"
Angela Merkel deplores the rejection of the Brexit Agreement by the British House of Commons. It is up to the British Prime Minister Theresa May to "tell us what will happen", said the chancellor.
Following the rejection of the Treaty on Brexit, the chief negotiator of the EU Barnier has warned against a chaotic exit. At the same time, it signals a willingness to speak. However, May will hardly be able to meet the requirements.
NAccording to the chief negotiator of the EU, Michel Barnier, the EU is ready to negotiate a new exit agreement with Great Britain. The condition is that the English change their previous "red lines". The particularly criticized UK guarantee for an open border in Ireland – the so-called "backstop" – is essential. "The backstop must remain a backstop, it must remain credible," Barnier said Wednesday at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
The risk of a Brexit without agreement is "higher than ever", said the chief negotiator. Ten weeks before the UK's planned exit, the EU must now "speed up" the preparations for a disorderly Brexit.
Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed her regret at the decision of the British House of Commons against the agreement. "We still have time to negotiate, but now we are waiting for what the British Prime Minister proposes," he said Wednesday before a meeting of the Bundestag's Foreign Affairs Committee. It is now up to British Prime Minister Theresa May to "tell us what's going on".
The vote of the British House of Commons against over 18 months with the Brexit Treaty negotiated by the EU was very clear, said Barnier, but said: "At the moment it is too early to evaluate all the consequences of this vote." For opponents of the pact there are very different motivations.
They will work constructively on a solution until the end, assured the negotiator. However, he did not offer any further concessions to Britain. The exit contract was the best possible compromise.
If the offer of the EU actually leads to new successful negotiations, it is more than questionable. If Vera had indeed moved her "red lines" to Brussels, British parliamentary approval would be even less likely.
The British House of Commons voted on Tuesday evening with a large majority against the exit agreement. Time is running out: Britain wants to leave the European Union on March 29th. If there is no agreement until then, there is a threat of withdrawal from the international community without an agreement. In this case, we expect chaotic consequences for the economy and many other areas of life.
