UK has already 'agreed in principle' with EU to Norway-style transition - The Independent
|Belgian MEP Philippe Lambert, a key member of the European Parliament’s Brexit team said in an interview with The Independent late-Monday, the UK has already “agreed in principle” to a Norway-style Brexit transition period in which it accepts all EU rules with no power to shape them.
He told the UK daily that while Ms. May has set out a desire to achieve a transition or “implementation” period on “current terms”, exactly how it will work has not been decided.
