Article summary

The European Parliament adopted a resolution reiterating its ‘unwavering support’ for the EU negotiating position on the future UK-EU relationship by a large majority during a plenary vote on 18 June 2020. In its draft, adopted on 15 June 2020, MEPs, standing firmly behind EU Chief Negotiator, Michel Barnier, deemed the UK's cherry-picking position 'unacceptable' and made the European Parliament's consent contingent on an agreement on level playing field and fisheries. The UK government has stressed that a deal on the future UK-EU relationship is still possible, but it has also warned that it cannot accept key elements of the EU position.
