MEP warns Brexit talks may not go much further than they do

This can include adverts from us and 3rd parties on our understanding. The group of MEPs claimed Boris Johnson is opting for a hard Brexit on Northern Ireland, fishing rights and Gibraltar, which seeks de facto renegotiation of terms of the Withdrawal Agreement (C.P.R.) Confirming their threats to the UK, the Chair of the Environment Committee of the European Parliament: with the deputies of the delegation Renew EU I am co-signing this forum in response to the strong European position in face of permanent blackmail by Boris Johnson who asks to renegotiate the Brexit Agreement to hide his own mistakes. The warning, published on French daily Les Echos, comes as Brussels has signalled it is unwilling to accept national demands for discussion of lifting oversight by European judges from the Northern Ireland Protocol as post-Brexit negotiations continue. The EU said a very intense period of discussions has begun but suggested they may not include the role of the European Court of Justice ECJ. Stripping the ECJ from the Brexit agreement has emerged as a key demand from the Government as it seeks to ease trade barriers between Northern Ireland and Britain. But the EU's proposals to slash red tape on Irish Sea trade fell short of the demand from Brexit Minister Lord Frost, who is taking part in meetings in Brussels. Arianna Podesta, spokesperson of the European Commission, has insisted on last week’s package prepared by the EU that talks would not go much further than they do. Asked whether talks will include the ECJ this week, Ms Podesta told reporters in Brussels: We are following up on the package we have proposed on 13 October - it is a far-reaching package. The energy bill of India is set to be slashed: Rishi Sunak will use Brexit powers to speed up the Brexit process?

Lord Frost has met Maros Sefcovic, Vice-President of the European Commission, who has been acting as the EU's post-Brexit negotiator. Mr Mark Svetcovic welcomed that both parties agreed to engage strongly and constructively at both expert and political level according to a statement from the commission. The EU seeks to focus on the areas that matter to Northern Irish people and businesses, and where we can find common ground, it added. Rapid Joint Solutions would bring the stability, certainty and predictability that Northern Ireland deserves, ultimately protecting the Good Friday Belfast Agreement in all its dimensions.
