[Brussels / London, 27th Reuters]-Irish Foreign Minister Coveney warned that the British and EU would both run out of time on the 27th over the European Union (EU) withdrawal agreement.

Mr. Coveney, who met with Barnier chief negotiator, who represents the EU side in the UK EU exit negotiations, said that the UK will issue “seriousness” over how to replace the “backstop” of the Irish border issue for the exit negotiations. Pointed out that it must be based on a “proposal”. “At the moment there is still a big gap and time is running out,” he said.

He also stated that the responsibility lies with the UK side, and that the postponement of withdrawal is more desirable than withdrawing without agreement.

Barnier chief negotiator said he needed to avoid strict border control and protect the integrity of the EU single market, and called for a legislative amendment on the Irish border issue.

The UK will submit a specific legal document on EU withdrawal next week.

A law in the UK that requires Prime Minister Johnson to ask the EU to postpone a three-month withdrawal if the parliament has not approved a draft withdrawal agreement with the EU by October 19 this month Was established.

Prime Minister Johnson pointed out to reporters on the 27th: “We will comply with the law, but we are confident that the October 31 withdrawal is possible, and the best way is to get agreement.” The enactment of the law reminded the EU side of the possibility of the British Parliament preventing or extending the withdrawal, making negotiations difficult.

On the same day, Barclay EU minister in charge of meeting with Barnier chief negotiator said in a TV interview that there was a long way to reach a withdrawal agreement and said, “The crucial moment of withdrawal negotiations is approaching.” It was.
