LONDON, United Kingdom – David Davis, a British Conservative Party member and the United Kingdom (UK)’s Brexit Secretary of State, told the European Union (EU) to stop prioritizing politics above prosperity.
During Davis’ speech in Berlin, he discussed all his expectations and hopes to allow the freest possible trades for both services and goods. The EU’s stand on this cannot be moved onto trade until negotiations and particulars about United Kingdom (UK) citizens’ rights, divorce bill, and issues about Northern Ireland are dealt.
Davis before the media answered concerns from a reporter that the UK government looks like it is under chaos. Davis, on the other hand, reverted and stressed that one of the dilemmas facing the modern politics is the fact that all governments have their own periods of turbulence.
Moreover, according to the Brexit Secretary of State, this said turbulence shall pass. He also expressed that the close economic partnership with the EU should remain and continue, if not strengthen.
Davis remarked that prioritizing politics above the state’s prosperity is never and will never be a smart choice by the governments.
More so, Davis and the UK are searching for a strong and comprehensive free trade agreement with its proposed scope to the EU that the union has never encountered before. In addition, the proponent would want to have a deep cooperation in the high fields of energy, data, and transportation.
The Brexit Secretary of State suggested that the UK and the EU should think creatively to make all things possible that will benefit both the states they are concerned about. He also wanted to oversee that all financial obligations are workable and have very effective dispute mechanisms especially in concrete disputes that may arise. The UK government has not yet revealed the exact amount it is willing to settle to pay their obligations, yet there has been an estimated figure of €20bn or £18bn.
