Brexit : l'appel téléphonique entre Boris Johnson et Ursula von der Leyen n'a pas abouti à un accord - Belga

l'appel téléphonique entre Boris Johnson et Ursula von der Leyen n'a pas abouti à un accord

Le Premier ministre britannique Boris Johnson se rendra à Bruxelles "dans les prochains jours" pour rencontrer la cheffe de l'exécutif européen Ursula von der Leyen, les conditions n'étant toujours "pas réunies pour finaliser un accord" post-Brexit, ont indiqué lundi Downing Street et la Commission européenne.

Lors d'un appel téléphonique, Boris Johnson et Ursula von der Leyen "sont convenus que les conditions ne sont pas réunies pour finaliser un accord" et ont demandé à leurs négociateurs de préparer une "rencontre physique à Bruxelles dans les prochains jours", selon un communiqué commun.

Un porte-parole de Downing Street a précisé que Boris Johnson comptait faire le déplacement.

  1. London and Brussels’ differences on “critical issues” are hampering last-ditch efforts to sign the Brexit trade deal, EU chief Ursula von der Leyen and British PM Boris Johnson said after a 90-minute-long phone call on Monday.

    “We agreed that the conditions for finalizing an agreement are not there due to the remaining significant differences,” von der Leyen and Johnson said in a joint statement, issued after the latest talks.

    The EU and the UK are still unable to find common ground on “level playing field, governance and fisheries,” according to the statement – key issues which have surfaced again and again in months of crunch talks aimed at securing a deal before the end of the UK's withdrawal transition period on December 31.

    1. After fruitless phone calls on Saturday and Monday, the two leaders have decided to meet in person “in the coming days,” and the UK PM will be traveling to Brussels.

      Chief negotiators on both sides and their teams have been tasked with preparing an overview of the remaining differences so that von der Leyen and Johnson could discuss them face to face.
