Sefcovic: EU-UK Relationship At Crossroad, Destructive UK Action Must End

EU-UK

EU Commission VP Maros Sefcovic speaking in Brussels on the EU-UK relationship. Livestream here. Issues hardline comments that seem unlikely to lead to any improvement in relations with London.

  • Says that the relationship between the EU and the UK is at a crossroads, and that the two sides cannot afford to keep playing a zero-sum game.
  • Sefcovic: 'The EU has no desire to meddle in the internal affairs of the UK'
  • 'The UK's destructive unilateral actions must come to an end. Further UK action will lead to a downward spiral.'
  • 'The UK must show unwavering commitment to implementing the Northern Ireland protocol. Trust must be restored and commitments must be honoured.'
  • 'When it is necessary, the EU is willing to come up with innovative solutions'.
  • 'It is a pipe dream to believe that all EU-UK restrictions can be removed'.
  • 'EU is ready to apply enforcement tools agreed in TCA'.
