Anonymous Coward User ID: 73874067 United Kingdom 01/31/2017 04:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | EU bigwig tells Britain to expect astronomical £500 BILLION Brexit divorce bill THE EUROPEAN Parliament's top Brexit negotiator has said Britain could face a £500billion (€600bn) Brexit divorce bill – ten times the figure initially expected. BBC Newsnight host Evan Davis asked the former Belgian Prime Minister about the potential financial liabilities linked to Brexit. Mr Verhofstadt replied: “What I know is the outstanding commitments now and before Britain will leave the European Union will in total be around €600billion (£513billion). “That’s the reality and you can find in the accounts of the EU.” Last week, Lord Kerr, the Briton who wrote Article 50, also suggested the final exit figure could be higher than the previously quoted £50bn. In December, Mr Barnier told colleagues the UK will keep paying “tens of billions” annually into the EU budget until 2020. Read MOre: [ link to www.express.co.uk] |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 54329648 Mutual economic destruction. UK losing access to EU market. UK losing tens of thousand of finance jobs who were working for euro exchange system. But also German automobile industry losing billions (and french luxury industry as well), UK becoming a tax evasion paradise and american colony at the door of Europe, lots of Polish and French who worked in England losing jobs, etc... Nobody (in Europe including UK) has interest in seing these negociations fail, so I guess EU will accept to settle for a far smaller bill and UK will happily pay it to keep access to our market while having freedom to refuse migrants. IMO the two sides are just showing their muscles in hope to get more in the incoming bargain, but all countries economic powers are lobbbying against anything extreme, so Brexit will end rather well. |
