EU stands as one man over London

The outcome of the British elections on 8 June will not affect the position of the 27 EU member states in the brexite negotiations.

Even if Prime Minister Theresa May wins and strengthens its position, according to the Vice-President of the European Commission, it does not exclude the other 27 countries. 'Our priorities are determined by all interests. '

In Luxembourg, the EU ministers of European Affairs prepared the brexit summit of government leaders in Brussels in Brussels. The leaders will set the mandate with which the EU's main negotiator, Frenchman Michel Barnier, can work.

According to the Maltese Vice Prime Minister Louis Grech, who presides over the Council of Ministers, 'everyone' stands behind the principles that are now on paper. 'It is in our own interest if we negotiate as one for the best results for all of us,' he said. The success is about unity and trust, also emphasized Barnier. 'We are ready. '

Barnier did not want to lose what committee chairman Jean-Claude Juncker and he discussed in London on a working dinner with May on Wednesday. It was for the first time that they were talking about the brexite negotiations. Those starting after the British elections.

However, according to the Financial Times, May would be able to conduct the talks at the lowest possible political level to Brussels's dissatisfaction. Barnier would also want much more transparency about the process than the British.

The guidelines revolve around the principle that the United Kingdom does not get better from leaving the EU. 'We agree that we want the British as a close partner but there must be a balance between rights and obligations,' said Grech.

For London, therefore, no good EU-pap potatoes, no remission of financial obligations, no trade-offs for divorce, and the rights of non-UK citizens in the UK are at the forefront.
