As the people of the United Kingdom have vote, the country is therefore ready to leave the EU. A process which is supposed to end in March 2019, after 2 years of complex negotiations between the British government and its 27 European government counterparts. Since the 23rd of March 2018, Theresa May doesn\u2019t allow any backward steps, as it will be a \u201chard Brexit\u201d<\/strong>, no concessions. Here are the main measures: leaving the EU single market, leaving the EU, not depending anymore from the European Commission.<\/p>\nMs May aims to have the power to negotiate her own commercial agreements, mainly with the Commonwealth. She still wishes that she could maintain a free-trade agreement with the EU, yet, she has admitted that life will be whole lot different for the British people. \u201cWe have to reach a new equilibrium. However, we will not accept Canadian rights and Norway obligations.\u201d<\/strong> -she warned.
\nNevertheless, her idea to negotiate individually with each European country has been a huge failure. Donald Tusk, the European Council president, declared: United Kingdom has chosen to leave the single market and the customs union will lead to \u201ctensions\u201d in their future commercial relations. Meaning that you are either in the European union, or you are not and personalized agreements will not happen. Without these agreements, the United Kingdom would be considered as a regular non-European country and would have to respect the World Trade Organizations rules which would mean tariff barriers.<\/strong><\/p>\nIn order to understand clearly, a document was presented by Michel Barnier to the European Council on the 15th of December 2017. It shows all the requirements from the EU, that the United Kingdom would have to fulfill in order to receive benefits from the EU and be considered as a partner like Switzerland for instance. If Theresa May will not reverse her decision keep the \u201cNo Deal\u201d situation, the United-Kingdom will be a third-party country for the Europeans, like Japan for example.
