Given that Prime Minister Theresa May contradicted reports that eastern European economies could use its veto if negotiations about the Brexit, Tomas Prouza, Minister of European Affairs of the Czech Republic joined the chorus of EU members from former communist countries that rule out a preferential agreement with Britain. In the Slovak capital Bratislava, they agreed to forge a new “vision” within six months to restore faith and unity in the bloc.

Michel Barnier, the French politician who will lead EU negotiations with London on Britain’s exit from the European Union, plans to tour member states once he takes office on October 1, EU sources said on Tuesday.

“None of the current off-the-shelf arrangements can preserve existing passporting arrangements, while giving the United Kingdom the influence and control it needs over financial services regulation as it develops”, Tyrie said in an e-mailed statement. “What Liam is doing is encouraging businesses to export which is an important part of his role as trade secretary”.
