According to a confidential note, London would want “the butter and l … – RT in French

The british government tries to negotiate its withdrawal from the european Union, while now in the common market : a position all the more difficult to keep that it seems to arouse the opposition of the traders French.

This is a document that should remain confidential : a note from the chief of staff of Mark Field, the leader of the conservative party, was photographed without his knowledge while he was leaving a meeting of the commission in charge of preparing the Brexit on Monday 28 November.

It reads, among other things, that the United Kingdom would have few chances to stay in the common market after its exit from the european Union : London would “own horrors” to accept the “controls” transition allowing him to continue to enjoy the benefits of the european market. In effect, the output of the EU does not imply an automatic withdrawal from the common market… but a continuance of the latter would be “very difficult”.

The document called the british position in attempt to “have the butter and the money of butter” (“to have cake and eat it”). He mentions, moreover, the obstacle that would constitute “the positions of the negotiators, French”, which would have sought to “see what it looks like the agreement” prepared by the British… but they do not give their consent for the same.

While the United Kingdom is facing internal difficulties as to the attitude to adopt in the face of the negotiations, these promise to be extremely tight. In addition to the difficulty to reach an agreement, the Prime minister Theresa May will have to ratify it by the parliament, as called for by the british courts.
