Former European Union chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said that Britain cannot pick only those EU rules that suit it. If it wants to enjoy the benefits of the union, it must be a member and accept the same conditions as other member states. svet.sme.sk ↗
With this, Barnier rejected the idea that Britain could draw selected benefits linked to membership without accepting all the related rules. According to him, such an approach would not be possible in the event of the country's eventual return to the EU.
At the same time, he assumes that member states would not renew the special financial compensation that the country negotiated for itself back during its membership in the union. This is another condition that, according to Barnier, could be subject to negotiations on Britain's possible return. teraz.sk ↗
His statements concern the future shape of relations between Britain and the European Union. According to him, the basic principle should be that the benefits of membership are linked to the same obligations and rules for all member states.
