Good news for the Brexit Britain as German Chancellor Angela
Merkel promised to treat Britain in a friendly manner irrespective of the fact
exit the bloc has its dare consequences.
According to the German Chancellor, some of the negative
impact of the UK’s exit would hit the automobile industry, to the travel of
cats and dogs.
She also stated the should Britain refused to allow free
movement of EU nationals after, "we will have to see how we balance that
out".
For the time being, Brexit Secretary David Davis has said
the Prime Minister put EU leaders "back in their box" after reports
of a stormy dinner attended by Theresa May and European Commission President
Jean-Claude Juncker at Downing Street.
"We've shown we mean business. We won't engage in silly
games but neither will we put up with silly games," he told the the Express
newspaper.
The Brexit Secretary also hinted that he spends half of his
time getting ready for the likely event that the UK will have to walk away
without a deal.
"I don't expect it will ever be used but it has got to
be there as an available option if we absolutely need it."
Negotiations on the Brexit deal are expected to begin in
earnest after the General Election on 8 June.
Speaking on Wednesday, at a G20 trade union event in Berlin,
Mrs Merkel said Britain was free to change rules to its own advantage after
leaving the bloc, but had to expect there would be repercussions.
"If the British government ends the free movement of
people, that will have its price," she said.
Mrs Merkel added that the disruption could be widespread
because of the breadth of EU legislation.
"Currently, the 250,000 pets, cats and dogs that travel
from Britain to the continent or the other way around each year are managed
within an EU framework," she said.
"Now they'll need hygiene certificates - things we
don't even remember."
