the EU commission president, Jean Claude Juncker, said that a brexit without agreement alone will be the Uk’s fault.
In an interview with the German newspaper Augsburger Allgemeine, says Jean Claude Juncker, that he and the EU’s chief negotiator for brexit, Michel Barnier, will do everything to get a deal with the british.
– Should it not succeed, the Uk will be the only responsible for it, he says to the newspaper, according to news agency Reuters.
Juncker calls it in the interview for a disaster if Britain leaves the european UNION without an organized udtrædelsesforløb.
the Uk is scheduled to leave the EU 31. October.
Officials in Brussels said, according to Reuters, Britain’s prime minister, Boris Johnson, has made very little progress in negotiating a new agreement in place.
The new agreement is to replace the by his predecessor, Theresa May got through in the EU, but which was voted down three times in the british parliament, which led to her departure.
In the interview, adds Juncker, to a future debate between the Uk and the EU will be very complicated by a chaotic brexit.
– We want and need to get shut of a future trade agreement.
– But it does not happen just like that some in the Uk think, says Jean Claude Juncker.
– Some of the trade agreements that we have closed in my reign, took many years to reach, he says.
