May: EU must respect UK in Brexit talks
UK Prime Minister Theresa May has said the EU must treat the UK with “respect” in Brexit negotiations.
In a statement at Downing Street she said for EU leaders to reject her plan with no alternative at this “late stage of negotiations” was “not acceptable”.
A defiant Mrs May added: “I will not overturn the result of the referendum nor will I break up my country.”
Mrs May’s statement followed a cool reception for her Chequers plan at a summit of EU leaders in Salzburg.
The prime minister said: “Throughout this process I have treated the EU with nothing but respect. The UK expects the same, a good relationship at the end of this process depends on it.”
“At this late stage in the negotiations, it is not acceptable to simply reject the other side’s proposals without a detailed explanation and counter proposals. So we now need to hear from the EU what the real issues are and what their alternative is so we can discuss them. Until we do, we cannot make progress.”
