European Council President Donald Tusk on Thursday urged British Prime Minister Theresa May to start the process for her country to leave EU as soon as possible. “I don’t think it’s particularly desirable, but we don’t rule it out, because we have to be allowed a free hand to get the best negotiations”, Rudd replied to a question during BBC1’s The Andrew Marr Show on whether such a scheme might emerge. The EU and the commissioners may be considering issues, alternatives.
In her media interview Rudd, commenting on the European Union waiver proposals, said it was a reminder that it was a two-way negotiating process.
Although formal negotiations on leaving the European Union have yet to begin, Britain is searching for a way to satisfy voters who backed leaving the European Union because they wanted lower immigration and an end to open borders with the bloc, whilst meeting the needs of an economy in which some sectors depend on foreign labour.
Ms Rudd also addressed her comments from the referendum campaign when she said Boris Johnson was not the person you want to drive you home at the end of an evening out.
Currently, British citizens can travel freely within the EU.

The EU plan is part of series of measures planned in the wake of the Paris attacks in January and November last year and the Brussels bombings in March this year, that expose serious shortcomings in the EU’s internal and external border security systems.
Meanwhile, the Republic’s foreign affairs minister Charlie Flanagan said peace-building work in the north must continue after Brexit.
