EU’s Verhofstadt: “We must formalize the Brexit withdrawal agreement”
|The EU Parliament’s Chief Brexit Coordinator Guy Verhofstadt was out on the wires last minutes, via Twitter, commenting on the Brexit issue.
Key Quotes:
“We must formalize the Brexit withdrawal agreement. Besides the Irish issues, our priority is to get citizens’ rights right. Because this is not done yet. We need rock-solid guarantees.
The European Parliament won't allow cherry-picking in the Brexit transition. All EU legislation, all EU policies will continue to apply. The only exception is that the UK will no longer be represented in the institutions that decide on legislation & policies.
Brexit will conclude with a political declaration defining the future of our relationship. Let's not reinvent the wheel & use article 217 to agree on a UK - EU association agreement.”
