European politicians announced a tentative cost figures “Brekzita”.
In Brussels, the start of the round of negotiations between Britain and the EU, which amongst other things will begin to discuss how much London has to pay for leaving the EU. Unofficial estimates are in the range from 30 to 110 billion euros.
For the British politicians who advocated leaving the EU, the issue of the so-called “bill brakcet” very important: before last year’s referendum they promised voters including great savings on contributions to the EU budget.
Therefore, when officials of the European Commission talked about the fact that Britain is in the process of leaving the EU will have to pay considerable sums, the reaction of the British politicians brasilero at first was hard: they were expressed in that spirit that since the release of the United Kingdom will not pay a penny.
Now London already recognizes the presence of financial obligations to EU and the dispute will be about how much you have to pay.
In this case, although politicians and the media and call it “bill for pexit”, in fact it is, of course, not a one-time payment and the fulfillment has already taken Britain obligations for financing the budget and different EU programmes.
Correspondence discussion on this topic is sometimes acquired acute forms. The Minister of foreign Affairs Boris Johnson a few days ago in Parliament said that an adequate response to Brussels, if he will request 100 billion euros, will be “yeah, yeah”. The corresponding English expression, which, after a colleague-deputies used the Johnson – “come, fistula” (go whistle).
The head of the EU delegation in the negotiations with Britain, Michel Barnier quite poignantly in absentia replied Johnson, that he “can’t hear any whistles, just a clock ticking”. He meant that the time for negotiations is short, and in the interests of Britain as soon as possible to discuss the future economic and trade relations with the EU.
In the document, which sets out the official position of the European Commission on this issue refers only to the types of costs which will have to agree.
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker a few months ago, when asked whether it is 60 billion euros, said in the spirit that we are really talking about the amount of this order.
