(Worthy News) – The fact that the European Union will insist on a level playing field in its future relations with the United Kingdom should come as “no surprise” to the UK, said the EU’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, in Brussels.

Barnier, who presented his negotiating mandate, recommended British Prime Minister Boris Johnson take a look at the EU-UK joint political declaration of October 2019. Article 17 states that both sides will strive for a fair trading relationship based on the same rules — the level playing field.

The closer the British government adheres to bloc rules, the closer the economic relationship could be, Barnier said. If Britain wanted to say goodbye to the EU internal market and its rules, and to the customs union, it’s their choice, he added. He said that the negotiations on a free trade agreement that are due to start in a few weeks’ time are apparently not about moving closer together, but about moving further apart.” In future, Britain cannot be as close as it was as a member of the EU,” Barnier said in Brussels.
