Has the EU actually said this or is this just what people on the internet are assuming?
- tremon 10y ago"the EU" can speak only in treaties, and so has not spoken yet. But yes, multiple people connected with the EU government have been making statements to this effect: out means out. It is not in the EU's interest to give the UK a more favourable deal than it had before, because that signals to other member countries that leaving has financial benefits.
- mcv 10y agoA more favourable deal than the UK already had is indeed unlikely, because the UK already had an unreasonably sweet deal. But I really do hope the EU will give the UK a fair deal in the coming negotiations. There's no point in needless hostility. Unless they want to make good on that World War 3 scare.
