EU Will Be Blamed For Lack Of ‘Flexibility’ If No-Deal Brexit – Barclay.
Britain’s Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay delivers a speech during the opening of the French Employers’ association “Rencontre Des Entrepreneurs” summer meeting at the Longchamp horse racetrack in Paris, on August 28, 2019. ERIC PIERMONT / AFPBritain’s Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay warned Wednesday that the European Union would be blamed for its “lack of flexibility” on the Irish border question in the event of no-deal Brexit.
With just over two months to go before the deadline for Britain to leave the EU, both sides have been blaming the other for the growing likelihood that British leaves without a deal, a scenario expected to cause economic and travel chaos. Johnson sparked fury Wednesday among pro-Europeans and MPs opposed to a no-deal Brexit by successfully seeking the suspension of parliament weeks before Britain’s EU departure date.Barclay suggested the EU was more worried about protecting the European single market — after Brexit, the border between Northern Ireland and the Irish republic will become an external EU border — than in maintaining peace on the island of Ireland.
Last week, Johnson and EU Council President Donald Tusk each claimed the other man would go down as “Mr No Deal”.“A ‘no-deal’ scenario will only ever be the UK’s decision, not the EU’s,” he said.But other EU officials speaking at the conference organised by France’s MEDEF employers’ association cautioned against letting Brexit distract from efforts to prepare the EU’s future.
