British Prime Minister Theresa May said Monday she wanted a future customs relationship with the European Union by the end of 2020.
Ahead of a meeting of the ministers of Great Britain, to be held this week, May said officials had drafted a new option for the manner of dealing with the European Union.
“I am very clear that we must do everything we can to ensure that in late December 2020, we are able to see our future customs relations”, she told the Parliament.
May also stressed that Britain's stance within the European Economic Zone, even after Brex, is an issue that the government does not consider at all.
The leaders of the European Union are increasing pressure on Great Britain to clarify its position as soon as possible and come up with an agreement on leaving Union as soon as possible.
