"Today, we publish the draft #Article50 Withdrawal Agreement which translates into a legal text the joint commitments of the EU and the United Kingdom. Nothing in here will be a surprise". @MichelBarnier #Brexit periscope.tv/w/1gqxvpPeDMAGB
We will now discuss this draft Withdrawal Agreement with @EUCouncil and @Europarl_EN before putting it on the table of negotiations with the UK for an orderly withdrawal from the European Union → europa.eu/!Tg37by #Brexit
On Ireland, we need to ensure that there will be no checks at the border and protect the Good Friday Agreement in all its dimensions. By creating an area with common rules between the Union and Northern Ireland, we achieve our objectives.
On other separation issues, our proposals were already set out in our "Essential Principles papers". #Brexit
Our draft Withdrawal Agreement also integrates proposals on transition period, but important divergence on:
- Citizens' rights during transition period: major topic for us and @Europarl_EN
- EU rules: to be the same throughout all the transition period
