China News Service, September 9th. According to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Chinese website, the UK’s Brexit transition period will end on December 31, 2020, and there are now less than 4 months left.

Prior to this, if the UK and Europe cannot reach an agreement on a future trade agreement, the UK will leave the EU without an agreement.

However, the progress of trade negotiations between the UK and Europe is slow. In the coming months, consultations on four major issues, including a level playing field, will still be difficult points between the two sides.

  On the 8th, Britain’s chief negotiator Frost and EU negotiator Barnier started the eighth round of trade negotiations in London.

Prior to this, British Prime Minister Johnson stated that if the trade negotiations before the meeting of the European Council on October 15 are fruitless, then the United Kingdom is ready to accept reality and leave the EU without a deal.

  The analysis believes that the difficulties of the current trade negotiations between the UK and Europe are mainly focused on the following four aspects:

  The first is a level playing field, that is, companies on one side will not have an unfair competitive advantage over the other side due to policy factors.

All trade agreements will make provisions on this, but when it comes to the EU and the UK, the EU hopes that the UK will be consistent with the EU in terms of labor rights protection, environmental regulations, and government assistance.

But Britain made it clear that Brexit is to no longer be bound by common rules.

  The second is fishing and selling fish. The UK hopes to enjoy full access to the EU fish market, while the EU hopes to enjoy full access to fishing in British waters.

But the United Kingdom believes that this is inconsistent with the United Kingdom's current independent sovereign status.

It is said that the fishing industry has a small share in the economies of both sides, but it is an important part of the Brexit propaganda war.

  The third is the framework of the rules of the future agreement, which involves any future agreement signed by both parties, the implementation of the new agreement, and the role and role of the European Court of Justice.

  Finally, there is the issue of the Irish land border. The focus of the negotiations between the two parties is that the United Kingdom proposes the implementation of the relevant agreement reached with the EU before Brexit, that is, to keep the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland as open as possible.

This border is now the border between the United Kingdom and the European Union.

  The European Union is concerned that the United Kingdom may not fulfill all its commitments under the agreement. The United Kingdom is strongly dissatisfied with this suspicion.

  Earlier, there were media reports that the “Domestic Market Act” to be announced by the British government this week would invalidate the above-mentioned Anglo-Europe Agreement concerning the border of Northern Ireland.

The British government said on the 7th that the new bill only "made some clarifications in very specific specific areas."

  EU Commission spokesperson Fei Li said that the EU has always "participated in good faith and constructively" negotiations and will "make full use of" this round of negotiations.

He expressed his understanding of Britain's desire to reach an agreement as soon as possible, but insisted that it must "conform to the EU's long-term economic and political interests."

  The analysis believes that in the case of no-deal Brexit, the trade activities of the United Kingdom and the European Union comply with the rules of the World Trade Organization, which means that both sides will be affected by various tariffs and restrictions.

But with the economy being hit hard by the new crown epidemic, tariffs are likely to have worse effects.
