The leaders of the EU countries with the exception of Great Britain, voted unanimously the political guidelines during negotiations with Great Britain over its exiting the Bloc. In the Belgian capital Bulgaria is represented by President Rumen Radev, the Bulgarian National Radio correspondent to Brussels Nikola Miladinov reports.
The EU government leaders vowed to remain united during the negotiation process. It is split into two phases. During the first one the United Kingdom should arrange for all key terms of its withdrawal from European law guaranteeing the rights of foreign citizens and companies, as well as for its debts to the EU budget. Once the leaders are certain that the first phase has been completed talks will open for the future model of relations with Great Britain.
Access to duty free trade and financial services on the European market will be discussed after a few clear commitments are made by the United Kingdom. In the first place, this is the regulation of the status of permanently residing European citizens in Britain; keeping their right to live, work and study there. Clarity will be required also about European companies based in British territory.
The EU should also agree with Great Britain about the bill it has to pay given that it has signed long-term financial commitments to the EU budget. The border between Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland should remain open for the sake of the peace agreement with Northern Ireland.
The European leaders will also state that a possible future trade agreement with the United Kingdom, as a country outside the Union, shall not permit for selective inclusion of market access rights without the country adopting the right to free movement for people, goods and services.
