Re: Brexit discussion
A bit more on that Brexit bombshell:
Quote:
It will be "essential" for the UK to abide by EU rules on the single market and customs union to avoid a hard border in Ireland, the European Commission has suggested. The details are contained in a paper as part of this week's Brexit talks. It adds the UK should ensure there is no divergence from arrangements which allow for cross-border co-operation.
The leaked paper stops short of saying a hard border can only be avoided by the UK or Northern Ireland staying in the Single Market or Customs Union.
However, it brings the commission closer to the European Parliament position which "presumes" that the UK or Northern Ireland will have to stay in the internal market and customs union.It is also the clearest indication that the commission has accepted the Irish position on Brexit and the border issue.
