According to British reports, theresa may said on the 22nd that she was prepared to pay 40 billion pounds for the transition period of "Britain leaving the EU". Theresa may also said that Britain will honor its commitments made during its EU membership, and "Britain's withdrawal from the EU" will not have adverse effects on EU countries.
The report believes that this is a major compromise reached between Britain and the European Union. Earlier in the day, Theresa May delivered a speech in Florence on the position of "Britain's withdrawal from the EU". She said that there is still a two-year transition period after Britain officially "leaves the European Union", and some trade terms still apply during the transition period. Britain will leave the EU on March 29th, 20 19, and the relationship between Britain and the EU will develop in a new way.
In his speech, theresa may proposed to pay 20 billion euros to fill the budget gap after Britain left the EU, and said that at present, the relationship between the two sides is at a critical moment, and Britain hopes to become a strong partner and friend of the EU after Britain leaves the EU. At the same time, theresa may also made concessions, saying that the British legal system would guarantee the rights of EU citizens living in Britain.
Theresa may believes that the EU's membership system and economic zone system are not suitable for Britain, and the economic zone system will lead to disputes. She said that it is in the interest of both sides to find new solutions for future trade relations, and both sides need to discuss new ways to deal with trade differences.
Theresa may said that European countries have the responsibility to lay a good foundation for future generations and jointly write a new chapter in European history. She stressed that although the process of Britain's "Brexit" will be extremely difficult, the success of the negotiations is in the interest of both sides.
Michelle Banier, the chief representative of the European Commission's "Brexit" negotiations, commented on the British Prime Minister's speech "at the first time". He thinks that theresa may showed the creative spirit of Britain to the outside world through this speech.
Michelle Banier pointed out that Downing Street is willing to further push forward the "Britain's Brexit" negotiations, but time is running out. Europe and Britain must reach an agreement on the terms of "Britain's withdrawal from the EU" in 20 18. Only in this way can the negotiations on "Britain's withdrawal from the EU" be completed before March 29, 20 19.
Britain officially launched the procedure of "Britain's withdrawal from the EU" on March 29th, which opened a long negotiation between Britain and the EU. The fourth round of "Brexit" negotiations between Britain and the European Union will be held in Brussels on September 25th. At the end of August, Britain and Europe held the third round of negotiations on Britain's withdrawal from the EU, but no progress was made.
