France’s Europe Minister Amelie de Montchalin today said UK is trying “to secure a managed no deal” asking France for “mini-deals” on citizens, security, defence, fishing. The answer is “non” France will not do side-deals with UK to help mitigate impact of a no deal Brexit. /1
Amelie de Montchalin, France’s Europe Minister: “we can see during bilateral meetings that the British... try to secure a ‘managed no deal’… the probability of a no deal is quite high… the British are conscious of this and so they are trying to secure things" but .. /2
Amelie de Montchalin adds mini-deals with UK are “totally incompatible with the spirit in which we are negotiating.. we always tell [the UK]… Michel Barnier and his team are ready to see with you what can be done at the EU level” ie go talk to Brussels. No side deals. /3
Also France’s Europe Minister @AdeMontchalin today: a new #Brexit delay just for more time “is not an option”. Only if there’s “a new government, an announcement of an election or something that makes us think the landscape is changing, then we’ll consider an extension". 4/Ends
