Kenzo TRIBOUILLARD / AFPEU envoys on Monday finalised a mandate for chief negotiator Michel Barnier to lead what promise to be stormy talks with Britain on its future relations with the bloc starting next week.
One EU source told AFP that the ambassadors adopted the mandate by consensus, adding: “It’s good news.” He told AFP he believed and hoped that deal would be “respected by the United Kingdom — I don’t have any reason to think otherwise”. On the other side of the table, France took the lead in injecting hardball conditions into successive drafts of the EU negotiating mandate.
It also says the EU alone will determine what British financial services will be deemed equivalent enough to be offered in the bloc.With Britain threatening to walk away and instead trade on only the most basic terms with the EU if necessary, the result of the negotiations — due to start next week and be completed by the end of the year — is uncertain.
