Brexit trade latest: EU says Britain needs to compromise to secure deal

You can’t expect a country to compromise on issues. Of sovereignty, and taking back sovereignty from the eu was the whole point of Brexit. The eu’s demands are totally unreasonable and they have never made demands like this with other countries in trade deals and the UK as a independent sovereign nation could never agree to these ridiculous demands. However the eu has miscalculated the UK’s position . Brexit means Brexit and the people of the UK are expecting a proper eu free trade deal or no deal at all. No deal is worth sacrificing a part of a country’s sovereignty

They want us to compromise over our sovereignty. What other country would they demand that from? They are bullying, arrogant, thugs and are treating us the same way they have treated us for the whole time we have been in the EU. They have also treated us with contempt and ignored anything we have put forward. All they ever wanted was our money and to wreck our industries including the Fishing industry. We voted to get out of that corrupt organisation, who cannot even get their finances signed off each year. Boris, just get us out. The French COULD have treated us with the respect we have shown them and perhaps we could have come to some agreement regarding an annual fishing licence. However, the EU's totally unfair quota of fish they allowed us to catch in our OWN waters caused the decimation of our Fishing industry and we cannot just let the EU steal the Fishing communities livelihoods again. And THEY want us to shed tears for THEIR fishing industry?!!

How the hell can you get a trade deal with 27 countries with their own acts to grind. The UK should not give way.

No compromise, no surrender.

So to burst your bubble - U.K. has already compromised too much. It is the EU’s turn to compromise if they want a deal.

If they don’t I would suggest mini deals to cover specifics like aviation and move on.

Fake News end off

Of course we must have something to secure the deal. Boris already betrayed it once so...🙄😅

This will go down to the wire. There will be a last minute compromise. This has always been the modus operandi of the EU.

YOU DO NOT COMPROMISE ON SOVEREIGNTY!

WTF is this BS? As if the EU regulations manifested itself out of thin air and suddenly the UK has to deal with something utterly new! The rules and regulations have not changed in ages to get access and they will not change for the UK. Now that the UK has become a 3rd country it has to accommodate the EU if it wants access to the market, like everyone else.

So, the interviewer sees negotiations that show no sign of being successful as being 95 - 99% complete and the MEP similarly advocates ignoring reality, specifically fisheries but, generally, others too and concentrate on the "bigger picture". No wonder the negotiations are where they are and may they remain there until 11 pm on 31/12/20.

Britain doesn't have to compromise at all.

Where have we heard this 'news' before? Seems like Groundhog Day! Our UK 'red lines' are just what they mean - its up to the EUSSR to rein in their ridiculous demands. They wouldn't try to screw other trading countries like this. SO easy to tear up the WA and to go WTA ......

For the UK, it is a very simple decision. It is only the remoaners losers, those who personally benefit of the UK staying in the EU, traitors, will say otherwise.

No deal is by far much better rather than to sign the level playing field with ECJ role in it, to allow the EU vessels to plunder the UK water, to allow some part of the country to be controlled by the EU. If Canada, Japan, South Korea are not stupid to allow these things to happen, why would the UK ? In the past taking a country sovereignty would mean a declaration of war. Let alone this is just for a trade deal with the EU where the EU has a surplus of £80bil.

If we are to have a level playing field, the UK will need to become as slow and bureaucratic as the EU itself. You must be joking !!!!!

We dont want access to EU energy market. We buy your energy we can go and buy from russia stuff you lot

Why should we compromise when clearly the eu won't.

5yrs is enough we are off !

how do you compromise leaving the e.u? we leave the rules regs and rule our own country again and not by another unelected group

Us brits are for no deal so euro news get fucked as we’re staying with want we always asked , so wto

EU need to compromise. We can buy anywhere outside the EU , chemicals, steels, foods etc. They want us in the shithole. We decide who has access to our waters, at what price, and what they can take out of the water.

The EU is running behind the times. Its corrupt, outdated, authoritarian, totally anti democratic. The EU will fall apart.

Look at the port of Dover and see what the Europeans are bringing here. That will stop Merkel, Macron and others.

Stay strong Britain. Defend your rights as a free sovreign nation. You owe the EU NOTHING.

First of all, thank you to euronews for keeping comments open. This really isn't a given for media outlets anymore.

Second, we're out. Better out completely than excepting terms that leave no advantage to having left in the first place. Boris has been granted a majority, he has to use it for this.

Why shud we compromise

Britain doesn't have to do anything, deal or no deal Britain will be fine. No deal and the German car industry and the French wine industry are well fucked plus they'll be zero fish for any off them .

Compromise=surrender, acquiescence to giving up your interests to the benefit of the other side

WTO. What a mess the EU are in. How can 27 countries agree together on something like Brexit? UK can trade with rest of world.

Don’t turn up unless you are prepared to move big time Frost said, so they did and didn’t.

Why should any Sovereign Nation have to give away its independence? Britain voted out because of EU intervention in all aspects of its life. Trade fairly or not. Just walk away Boris, walk away

It over, you lost, get over it.

What are the fish themselves saying about this

We are the only ones compromising the EU hasn't budged. Just making threats and warnings.

F Europe.

Italy will be leaving next the eu As we know it is finished

Hope for no deal, Britain needs to feel the consequences for their idiocy.

The gravy train is stopping, you didn't care about our fishermen and jobs with the CFP so go away and trade on wto

No we don't need to compromise.

I would tell you that the UK public do not want a deal so you don't know what your talking about. We in the UK will deal with any problems which are worth after the way the EU have treated us.The irish have made their bed by picking their side so now they can lay in it. The Uk are no longer Europeans .

When will the EU finally realise the UK voted to LEAVE THE EU? The vast majority could not care a hoot about any sort of deal, we want out and we want OUT NOW.

Do what you do in a divorce. When one of the partners want to take what doesn't belong to them. Give them a divorce send them on their way with nothing. The EU robbed Britain of it's wealth through communist countries. Its one of the big reasons they left. Give them nothing and say adios amigo !! There are plenty of other countries who would gladly trade with Britain. The EU is only 15% of world trade.

The UK doesn't need to compromise, it's our Water, our Sovereignty, we don't need the EU , the EU has zero power over the UK and that's drives them insane like the children they are. The EU is dead, don't let it bring down Europe with it.

Boris would sell out his own mother

Euronews is EU propaganda and should be treated as such.

WARNING - Euronews is a mouthpiece for the corrupt EU!

Roi screwed then

A no Deal would initially be bad for the UK!!!! However it will be good in the long term given the more freedom to strike new deals without restrictions.

Hence a no Deal will not be great for the EU but will be even worse later down the line having a former member and it's biggest individual market being super competitive on its doorstep without restrictions. The UK will become the goto place with alot less restrictions in Europe over the very hard work and very hard to deal with EU! They know this and that's why they are being CUNTS!!!

Access to the EU common market is guaranteed under the WTO rules so the EU are not giving us access to the common market. What they are doing is giving us a zero tariff zero quota access under a free trade deal. So, the only thing they are offering us is a saving of an average of 3.5 percent tax on our goods sold to them. For that they want us to accep regulatory alignment and a level playing field and the status quo on fishing. That is a price far to high for us to pay. Better to leave on a no deal and pay their tariffs while maintaining our independence.

Maybe we should give the germans another ultimatum.
