What are the main points of the first round of negotiations on Britain's withdrawal from the EU?

On the morning of June 19, local time in Brussels 1 1 (5 pm Beijing time), the negotiation of Britain's "Brexit" was officially launched at the EU headquarters, and this marathon, which was destined to be long and painful, finally officially began.

In this negotiation, which is expected to last for two years, the following topics are the most critical.

First, unify market access.

The EU is one of the largest unified markets in the world, but British Prime Minister theresa may insists on his line of "tough Britain leaving the EU", implying that Britain will leave the EU Free Trade Area completely. Although theresa may's defeat in the general election is regarded as the British voters' rejection of "hard Britain leaving the EU", there are still powerful forces within the Conservative Party to support this line. Considering that Mei's position in the party is in jeopardy, I'm afraid she can't and can't change her established position.

Second, civil rights.

The EU has previously stated that the primary issue of Britain's withdrawal from EU negotiations is the rights of EU citizens in the UK. Banier said that negotiations will not be held until all member states are convinced that their citizens will be treated "fairly and humanely" in Britain. At present, about 3 million citizens from other EU countries live in Britain. In addition, about 1 10 British people live in continental Europe.

Third, the issue of immigration.

Immigration from EU countries is regarded as a major reason for Britain's referendum on Britain's withdrawal from the EU, and theresa may also vowed to control immigration from the European continent after Britain's withdrawal from the EU. For the EU, this means that it is unacceptable that the labor force of the 27 EU countries cannot freely enter the British market. Therefore, I will not hesitate to exchange the EU's unified market access qualification.

Fourth, security issues.

Frequent terrorist attacks are a major concern of Britain and EU countries, and it is necessary for both sides to continue cooperation in the security field. However, participating in Europol activities and issuing European arrest warrants must comply with EU regulations and involve complex legal issues.

Fifth, the "breakup fee"

The EU insists that Britain must continue to pay the budget to the EU to ensure the pension, and has the obligation to participate in EU loans and other projects. The total amount of "breakup fee" has not yet been determined, and it is said that it ranges from 654.38+00 billion euros to 654.38+00 billion euros. This is considered to be an important weapon for the EU to "severely punish" Britain and prevent other member States from following suit. The issue of "breakup fee" will largely determine the direction of Britain's withdrawal from the EU negotiations.

Sixth, European legal issues.

Theresa May's hard-line Britain's exit from the EU also includes ending the jurisdiction of the British European Court of Justice. At present, Mei's position is softening, and she is trying to promote the so-called "Great Abolition Bill", that is, all existing EU laws are written into British law. To this end, she extended the parliamentary session to two years for the first time. However, like other issues, the opposition forces within the party made her "soft-hearted" and walked on thin ice.

Seventh, the Irish border issue.

This is one of the three issues that the EU considers priority, and it is also the most sensitive and thorny issue at present. The European Union, especially the Irish government, hopes to avoid the recurrence of the "hard border" between Ireland and Northern Ireland. However, the failure of theresa may's election made this problem more complicated: democratic unionist party in Northern Ireland, which is in power with the Conservative Party, has always had a bad relationship with Ireland, and Sinn Fein, the ruling party in Northern Ireland, publicly stated that democratic unionist party may threaten the hard-won peace process in Northern Ireland. In addition, democratic unionist party also urged to stay in the European single market.
