Given the significant uncertainty surrounding the fate of the UK's exit negotiations, the intention of these plans is to maintain smooth air and road traffic and prevent other disruptions in the event of negotiation failure.
Brussels has released an emergency plan to maintain aircraft flight, truck travel, and prevent other disruptions in the event of failed trade negotiations with the UK. It warned that there is "significant uncertainty" regarding the fate of the UK's exit negotiations. The European Commission, the executing agency of the European Union(European Commission)On Thursday, the proposal was adopted to temporarily ensure that airlines can continue to operate normal routes between the European Union and the UK, and in the UK1month1After leaving the single market, ensure that freight vehicles can continue to cross the English Channel. Brussels also proposed that the EU and the UK should arrange a one-year grace period for fishermen to continue their operations in each other's waters. Although the European Commission will continue to make every effort to reach a mutually beneficial agreement with the UK, is it possible to2021year1month1There is currently significant uncertainty regarding the completion date, "the European Commission said in a statement. Brussels has been resisting enormous pressure from member states for weeks to release emergency plans, believing that these plans may disrupt trade negotiations with the UK as they give the impression that the EU will create a safety net at the end of the UK's transition period after Brexit. However, EU officials stated that the European Commission was forced to take action because there was almost no time before the end of the year. One thing that highlights the precariousness of trade negotiations is that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson(Boris Johnson)Wednesday night with Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission(Ursula von der Leyen)During the dinner together, the gap between the two sides was exposed. Von der Leyen said Thursday that the EU has the responsibility to "prepare for all possible situations". A spokesperson for the UK government said: 'We will discuss practical arrangements with the EU. We will study the details very carefully,' while pointing out that the UK has already been quite thorough in its preparation work. Brussels insists that it is taking the necessary minimum measures to prevent significant economic disruption to European citizens and businesses. It stated that its purpose is to "provide temporary solutions as negotiations continue around future partnerships, rather than seeking to mitigate the negative impact of the UK's exit from Europe in a sustained manner". These emergency measures are targeted at areas where there is no "international backup solution"; If there are such solutions, they can be implemented in cases where a trade agreement cannot be reached before the end of the year to prevent chaos. This explains why there are no measures targeting shipping. For example, Brussels pointed out that if a temporary system cannot be established for road transport enterprises, it will "cause uncontrollable damage and seriously threaten the interests of the European Union". Some of these proposals require approval from relevant national governments and the European Parliament(European Parliament)The approval of these proposals requires the UK to provide equal treatment to the EU in order to be effective. This is the case with the air transportation proposal, which will allow British airlines to continue providing existing passenger and cargo services between the UK and the EU for six months. Brussels also proposed to ensure the continued validity of aviation safety certificates. In the field of fisheries, relevant legal proposals will allow the EU to authorize British fishing vessels to enter EU waters while providing equal treatment in the UK. This temporary arrangement will continue until2021end of the year. The above-mentioned British government spokesperson stated that the UK "will never accept arrangements for entering British waters that are inconsistent with our status as an independent coastal country". The road transportation proposal will ensure that cross strait trade is not hindered by a lack of transportation permits and will last for six months. The proposal announced by the European Commission does not cover financial services, as further market access in this field does not depend on trade negotiations, but rather on separate regulatory licensing negotiations. Brussels has not yet clarified the City of London(City of London)What kind of market power can be expected. Source:FTChinese |
