The most important elements of the draft agreement are:[21] The United Kingdom will retain a copy of the agreement while the original will return to Brussels where it will be kept in an archive with other historical international agreements. Much of the EU`s trade with Australia follows the standard rules of the World Trade Organization, although there are specific agreements for certain products. Negotiations between EU representatives and the UK government are expected to continue in London on Tuesday. However, European officials are likely to see a declaration of war in the announcement that the British government will publish parts of the internal market law on Wednesday and announce that these aspects of the withdrawal agreement could be repealed. EU officials have always said that there will only be a trade deal if the UK government respects this agreement. „Prime Minister, there is no good result in #Brexit,” Manfred Weber, a German MEP for the Bavarian Christian Social Union, wrote in a tweet to Johnson. Instead of taking Northern Ireland hostage, it would be better if you kept your word and supported the withdrawal agreement. Can we trust your promise? The eighth round of formal talks on a trade agreement will begin on Tuesday, with both sides aiming to overcome major differences on fishing rights and state aid before the agreed October deadline. In the absence of an agreement, the UK will trade with the EU with expensive tariffs and border controls when the transition period ends on 31 December. He said that Thursday 15 October was the deadline to reach an agreement and told the EU: „If we cannot agree by then, I do not see that there will be a free trade agreement between us, and we should accept it and continue.” EU officials don`t seem so angry about Johnson`s deadline of 15 October. The European Union`s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, had set a final deadline at the end of October.
EU officials say tey has proposed solutions for stumbling blocks on `fair competition`, fishing and the legal requirements of the agreement. But it seems that their British colleagues have not made similar concessions. On 15 November 2018, the day after the agreement and the support of the British government were presented, several members of the government resigned, including Dominic Raab, Secretary of State for leaving the European Union. [28] Sajid Javid, a former treasury chief in Johnson`s government, also said he would not vote in favour of the bill because „I cannot support the British country that preemptively rejects the withdrawal agreement.” However, he said that additional „protection powers” were now needed to protect against the EU`s „good will” to interpret aspects of the agreement in an „absurd” way, to „simply exert influence” in trade negotiations. „As part of the withdrawal agreement, the UK must inform Brussels of all decisions on state aid affecting the Northern Ireland goods market and require the province`s businesses to deposit customs papers when sending goods to the rest of the UK,” the Financial Times reported on Monday. „I think that may have been the case, to some extent, that it was „repenting of the agreement in a hurry, and then in free time.” And what we`re seeing now is conversion. Immediately after the announcement of a revised withdrawal agreement on October 17, 2019, Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the DUP said they could not support the new agreement. [30] An important part of the agreement – which is now an international treaty – was the Northern Ireland Protocol, which was intended to prevent a hard border from returning to the island of Ireland.
