According to EU diplomats, France rejected the demand directly and the general contract was a non-starter.

An EU diplomat said on Friday: “This will not happen. It is in Switzerland but they pay the EU budget and take free movement.”

This conflict is the beginning of a huge hagle between Britain and the EU, which both sides hope that the end of the year will intensify in autumn to finalize an agreement.

To facilitate the agreement, Britain was expected to agree to hold the current EU phishing rights in the UK waters for several years, saying that further discussion has been postponed after the expected UK elections in 2021.

Meanwhile, after the year, there will be a separate summit communication for establishing a “common understanding” of a more broad contract, including youth mobility, energy protection and simple movements for the British across Europe.

According to EU diplomats, Stermer’s ambassador to Brussels – former Treasury Official Michael Ellam – asked that the document should not be finalized until next month to avoid “intervention” with English local elections next Thursday.

According to EU veteran diplomats, the United Kingdom made three “asked” of Brussels as both sides saw the document that would form a summer-after-dialogue discussion.

The European Union Member States were briefed by the European Commission last week to address three British claims after negotiations with the UK, which included an agreement to fight illegal immigration, steps to develop tourists and certificates for industrial products.

Senior EU officials say that Brussels sent a clear signal that the block does not give a so -called mutual recognition of the UK, which will enable Britain to be able to establish certified products directly in a single market.

Diplomats said that Brussels points to the UK’s constraints to remove trade barriers with the EU when it is not re -joined in a single market or on its red line without re -entering the block union.

They also warned a so -called return agreement, where illegal immigrants from the UK would be sent back to the EU countries where they entered the first block, it was rarely impossible because of concern over immigration to member countries.

The European Commission has already warned the previous conservative administration that both of the musicians and their equipment have rejected the main political party of the UK for the essential components of single market access to the UK’s main political party, despite the Starmar Labor’s 2021 election manifesto.

EU diplomats have not fully ruled that the member states can be exempted from the UK by promising visa convenience for artists. In migration, British citizens can also be accessed to automatic e-gates when arriving at airports in EU.

According to EU officials, Ellam told EU negotiators that any youth mobility scheme should be bound to a quota to control the number. The British parties have mentioned that similar programs with countries like Canada had a higher limit.

A spokesman for the UK government said: “We are not providing on the ongoing commentary on our discussion with the EU; these are going on and covering the broad topics.”
