Three-and-a-half years after Britain voted to leave the EU, both sides are still to haggling over Brexit. Here's why
Britain left the now 27-nation EU on January 31, three-and-a-half years after the country narrowly voted to end more than four decades of membership.
Johnson said an agreement would only be possible if EU negotiators are prepared to “rethink their current positions”. Without a deal, the New Year will bring tariffs and other economic barriers between the UK and the bloc, its biggest trading partner. The key sticking points are European boats’ access to UK fishing waters and state aid to industries. The EU is determined to ensure a “level playing field” for competition so British firms can’t undercut the bloc’s environmental or workplace standards or pump public money into UK industries.
Johnson has said the country would “prosper mightily” even if Britain had “a trading arrangement with the EU like Australia’s” — the UK government's preferred description of a no-deal Brexit."I remain worried ... the negotiations are difficult, because the British want the best of both worlds," Barnier said on France Inter radio on Monday.
