(ANSA) - LONDON, SEPTEMBER 10 - The decision of the British government of Boris Johnson to implement a bill - contested by the EU and the British opposition - which aims to protect the British internal market after Brexit, even at the cost of revising some points of the he withdrawal agreement already reached with Brussels, in particular on the protocol signed to guarantee the open border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, unleashes a war with the European Union.
Great Britain claims sovereign powers from its Parliament.
Brussels responds with an ultimatum: withdraw the bill by the end of September or the Brexit clash will go to court.
The negative response from British minister Michael Gove was dry: "we will not withdraw the disputed law".
Chief negotiator Barnier and Commissioner for Economy Gentiloni call on the UK to prove itself reliable.
"Mutual trust is needed, Barnier says, or the EU will be ready for all possible scenarios".
Also a no deal with potentially harmful consequences.
