Yet another Brussels type has surfaced saying the UK must agree to pay before trade talks can begin.

Now it’s the turn of Antonio Tajani, the president of the European Parliament, to demand that the UK fits in with their agenda or there’ll be no trade talks.

Mr Tajani has joined the now long line of Eurocrats who demand that the UK falls in to line with EU demands before moving on the the one subject that will shape how the EU and UK interacts into the future - namely, trade.

The Italian MEP, who took up his post as president of the European Parliament in January this year, is now part of the vocal chorus trying to dictate that the UK caves in to three EU demands prior to trade talks.

First the EU wants the ECJ to have jurisdiction over EU nationals living in the UK post-Brexit.

Second it wants the Irish border question fully settled.

Third it wants the UK to agree to hand over any sum it demands up to about £90 billion.

And if we don’t, then he will want the talks pushed back by three months.

On the EU citizens rights, the EU knows that this sort of demand is a constitutional non-starter, so I assume it’s just there as a weak bargaining chip.

On the Irish border question, the EU can’t even control the borders it already has, just look at the Med countries for starters.

The EU also knows that the Irish don’t want a border between North and South and nor does the UK, so the EU will find it very hard to impose one on us. So an agreement will be found.

What it really comes down to is the dosh. This is what they are really after.

The EU knows that it will have to tighten its belt considerably after we leave, so it wants to screw every penny it can out of us in order to keep the project going.

Now the EU has known we are leaving since June 24th last year - so why hasn’t it already scaled back accordingly? That’s the big question we should be asking.

I remember George Osborne threatening the UK with an emergency budget should we vote to leave, but in reality it’s the EU that should have got together to see how it could pare back on its commitments straight after our referendum result was out. That they haven’t sorted this out is not our concern.

The real trouble though is the EU doesn’t have a brake, only an accelerator. So asking it to slow down and spend less will be nigh on impossible. But once again, nothing to do with the UK.

Anyway, what do you think of Mr Tajani’s interjection?

Please leave a comment below.

Thank you.
