‘Indecisive’ Britain
May is seeking tweaks to the accord and to a parallel political declaration on future EU-British relations in the hope of belatedly winning domestic support. The remaining 27 EU member countries have meanwhile been intensifying their preparations for a no-deal Brexit. Italy’s Finance Ministry said last week that it had drafted no-deal measures to protect the country’s finance industry.
Britain risks an accidental crash-out of the EU, warned the deputy to EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier on Monday. In some of her toughest remarks, Sabine Weyand slammed Prime Minister Theresa May’s handling of the divorce talks.
“There is a very real risk of crash out. Not by design but by accident,” Weyand told an audience invited by the European Policy Centre think tank. Weyand said that May had kept members of her own government in the dark during 18 months of intense negotiations.
