In reaction to the British PM’s statement accusing some EU
officials of “deliberately” making some attempts to influence the upcoming
general election, European Council Chief Donald Tusk has warned about the
likelihood of Brexit talks becoming “impossible” if emotions are not put under
control.
"These (Brexit) negotiations are difficult enough as
they are. If we start arguing before they even begin, they will become
impossible," Mr Tusk said in a statement read out after a meeting with
Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg.
"The stakes are too high to let our emotions get out of
hand. Because at stake are the daily lives and interests of millions of people
on both sides of the Channel."
Recall that PM had blamed the EU when she said "there
are some in Brussels who do not want these talks to succeed, who do not want
Britain to prosper".
Mrs May's claims followed a German newspaper's damning
account of a dinner last week between the PM and European Commission president
Jean-Claude Juncker.
After which Mr Junker purportedly called German Chancellor
Angela Merkel after the meeting to say Mrs May is on a "different galaxy"
over the negotiations.
Mrs May dismissed the claims as "Brussels gossip".
The Norwegian Prime Minister while speaking with Sky News reporters
said the people of Europe and the UK would suffer if politicians could not work
together.
Mrs Solberg said: "For the benefit of the whole of
Europe we need to find workable solutions for the competitiveness of the whole
continent.
"It's European people who will lose out on
possibilities and economic development if you can't find good working relationships."
