Think tank plans legal action to keep UK in EU single market

The transitional period would start after the two-year deadline of Article 50, which the United Kingdom must trigger to start the process of leaving the European Union.

But the MPs insisted people must not be used as “bargaining chips” in the negotiation and called for the issue to be discussed at next month’s summit of European Union leaders.

The visiting Polish delegation, led by Prime Minister Beata Szydlo, will include top executive ministers who will talk about bilateral ties and post-Brexit opportunities between the two countries.

If the courts back this assessment and give Parliament the final say over EEA membership, then MPs could vote to ensure that Britain stays in the single market until a long-term trading relationship with the European Union has been agreed.

“I think what you do see from the prime minister and the Polish prime minister is a desire to provide reciprocity to British citizens and Polish citizens and other citizens in Europe”, she said, adding that both sides were “keen to provide certainty for people”.

Speaking at a dinner at Chatham House last week, Mr Carney said companies could continue to operate under the current trading rules until 2021.

The UK central bank dismissed news reports on Sunday claiming that BoE governor has been working on “secret” plans to keep UK in single market, pointing to his public support of a transitional arrangement.

The UK economy has proved resilient since the June referendum, although the pound has fallen about 15 per cent amid fears that losing access to the single market will hurt businesses.

Carney was facing criticismfor spending nearly £100,000 of taxpayers’ money on the Bank of England’s annual summer party, just weeks after the Brexit vote.

The European single market is a trade agreement that allows different countries within the EU to trade across borders as easily as they can within their own country, with no extra tariffs or negotiations.

This could mean British MPs vote to keep the United Kingdom within the EEA while the government renegotiates its trade partnerships.

“It is a moment of change”.

The EU parliament’s chief Brexit negotiator Guy Verhofstadt said in a recent interview with Business Insider that the deal Britain has discussed so far makes no sense. It is a hugely challenging time.

“We can make a success of it, we will make a success of it, but these are really complex issues”. “That is why Poland was saddened, probably more than any other country, with the result of the British referendum”, Szydlo said.

In the Daily Telegraph, Ms Szydlo wrote: “Warsaw will certainly be one of the capitals which will participate in Brexit negotiations in a constructive and down-to-earth manner”.

“But we have also been clear that the United Kingdom should make its own decisions on controlling immigration and the authority of European Union law should end”.

The letter’s author Mr Tomlinson, deputy chairman of the pro-Brexit European Research Group (ERG), said: “At the October meeting of the European Council, Donald Tusk said that there was nothing to discuss about Brexit”.
