Polish Foreign Minister Jacek Czaputowicz suggested limiting the Irish backstop arrangement to five years, to help get the Brexit deal through UK parliament. However, European Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas said that is not EU’s position.
Schinas told reports that “we have a unanimous, and I repeat unanimous, EU 27 position on the Withdrawal agreement and it’s clear that the doorstep statement you’re referring to was not part of the EU position.”
