Though the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union
six months ago, the Prime Minister and her cabinet still attend meetings at
Brussels to make input on policies made by the EU, and also keep applying EU rules
and regulations, as the year comes to an end in about two weeks.
However the game is gradually changing, as Mrs May will have
to leave the other 27 member countries, after her meeting with them, as they
discuss the Syrian crisis and EU-NATO co-operation. This is because Mrs May is
not invited to attend the dinner which involves the other EU member countries,
where they also discuss Brexit.
Though the Prime Minister seem to be welcoming such idea,
she said: "It's right that the other leaders prepare for those
negotiations as we have been preparing," she said on her arrival.
"We will be leaving the EU - we want that to be a
smooth and (as) orderly (a) process as possible."
Whether she or others welcome it, our gradual divorce from
Europe has begun.
And as one senior diplomat put it, this is how it will be
now, with no decisions made about whether the UK will be invited to meetings in
Malta and Rome next year.
Britain will be increasingly excluded from discussions about
the EU's future.
