It is vital that the Prime Minister reflects on these guidelines and sets about building alliances and good faith with our EU partners – Starmer
Keir Starmer MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, commenting to the European Parliament vote on the negotiating guidelines for exiting the EU, said:
“It is important that the European Parliament has reached agreed guidelines, and we particularly welcome the emphasis that negotiations should be conducted in ‘good faith and full transparency’.
“Labour also strongly support the Parliament’s insistence that a future EU-UK deal requires the UK to retain international standards on human rights, climate change, social rights and the fight against tax evasion and avoidance. Labour’s six tests for the final Brexit deal made clear that there can be no drop in EU-derived rights and protections.
“These will be the most complex and important negotiations for decades and it is vital that the Prime Minister reflects on these guidelines and sets about building alliances and good faith with our EU partners.”
