France and Germany leaders talks before the UK EU deadline October 14th 7:26
It seems that France and Germany had a summit meeting on the 13th before the end of the UK's EU-European withdrawal nearing the end of this month, and discussed whether it was possible to agree with the United Kingdom on the terms of withdrawal. The
France's President Macron invited the German Chancellor Merkel to the Presidential Office in Paris, the capital, to hold a summit meeting.
British Prime Minister Johnson, who is aiming to leave on time at the end of this month, needs to agree with the EU on the terms of withdrawal before the EU Summit starting on the 17th of this month.
For this reason, President Macron and Prime Minister Merkel appear to have discussed whether it is possible to agree with the UK as the EU in the remaining time on the conditions for withdrawal.
Prior to the talks, Prime Minister Merkel stated that “the UK's withdrawal from the EU is in a critical phase,” but did not mention the prospects for the agreement.
The UK and EU negotiations continue at the practitioner level, with border management in Northern Ireland as the biggest issue, but the EU stated in the statement issued on the 13th that "a lot of work remains."
Prime Minister Johnson has not broken the stance of not leaving the "no withdrawal without agreement" that would have a great impact on the economy and society if no agreement was reached by the end of this month, and the adjustment at the last minute is proceeding whether agreement with the EU is possible It is.
