UK and EU continued to complain each other after last week’s Brexit negotiation stalemate”. UK Cabinet Officer Minister Michael Gove said there is a “big philosophical difference” between the two sides. And EU wants UK to “follow their rules even after we have left the club”. Though he remained “confident” that a “there is a deal to be done” It “just requires a degree of flexibility on the EU side which I’m sure that they will appreciate they need to show.”
On the other hand, Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney criticized on Sunday that UK was “essentially rewriting” the commitments in the political declaration of the Brexit deal. “Until the UK changes its approach in the context of giving the EU assurance that they are not going to effectively deregulate their economy while expecting free access in the EU single market, I think we’re going to continue to be in real difficulty in these talks,” he added.
