British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the EU's chief Brexit negotiator delivered clashing speeches on Monday. A rough ride could be ahead when both parties sit down later this year to thrash out their future relationship.
... [+]: Prime Minister Boris Johnson has called for the United Kingdom to be free of European Union rules in any post-Brexit trade deal while EU leaders have warned any agreement hinges on maintaining a “level playing field.”
Johnson added that, in order for a free trade deal to go ahead, there is no need for Britain to accept EU rules on “competition policy, subsidies, social protections, the environment or anything similar, anymore than the EU should be obliged to accept UK rules.” Barnier, tasked with negotiating the EU’s post-Brexit relations with Britain, reiterated his call for an “ambitious” partnership but added: “When you are not a member of the EU, objectively speaking, your position is different and less favourable.”
The U.K. must remain aligned to EU rules and regulations during that transition, but it has no representation at EU level.: Trade talks between Britain and the EU begin in March. If this morning’s discord is any indication, Barnier and Johnson seem to be setting themselves up for another deadlock, unless they can agree to a compromise on future trading relations.
