[London / Brussels 8th Reuters]-The British Prime Minister's office on the 8th withdrawing from the European Union (EU) of the United Kingdom, the German Prime Minister Merkel made an unacceptable request, the UK and EU agreed on the withdrawal conditions He said it was basically impossible to do. The EU criticized that Britain is not in a state of liability.

There are only three weeks left until the end of October, but the future of leaving the EU is still unpredictable.

According to a Prime Minister official, Mr. Merkel and Mr. Johnson held a telephone conference on the morning of the 8th. Merkel then told Johnson that it was "very unlikely" to agree on a new UK proposal.

An official of the British Prime Minister said that if Merkel's idea that Northern Ireland should remain in the EU customs union would not be agreed.

In the UK-EU withdrawal talks, the biggest issue is how to manage the border between British Northern Ireland and the contiguous EU member country Ireland after Brexit.

The source said, “If this is a new position (of the EU), it is basically impossible to agree, and it will never be.” Johnson argues that the UK will leave the Customs Union, including Northern Ireland.

The German government admitted that there was a telephone conference but declined to comment.

EU President Tusk took a post on Twitter on August 8 and critiqued Johnson ’s attitude: “The important thing is not to be in the dominance of ridiculous responsibilities”. “The important thing is the future of Europe and the UK, the safety and interests of the people. The UK doesn't want the agreement or postponement of the withdrawal date, it doesn't want to cancel. Where are we going?” .

Meanwhile, a spokesman for the British Prime Minister claimed that Mr. Johnson still wanted an agreement with the EU. He explained last week that the new withdrawal agreement would respect both the peace agreement between Ireland and British Northern Ireland and the single European market.

Furthermore, Johnson and Iraqi Prime Minister Baracker confirmed that they had agreed to an agreement at the telephone conference on the evening of the 8th, and announced that they would meet next week.
