Brexit Phase One Deal Done – HuffPost Verdict<\/b>
\n‘Sufficient progress made on Brexit negotiations and ready to move onto the second phase’ says Jean-Claude Juncker, President of EU Commission pic.twitter.com\/IIeY8vAsTv<\/a><\/p>\n

December 8, 2017
\nA deal has been reached between the European Union and the United Kingdom on phase one of the Brexit talks.
\nThe European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker revealed early on Friday morning that \u201csufficient progress\u201d has now been made.
\nThis opens the way for negotiations on the future trade relationship between the UK and EU to begin.
\nTheresa May said the deal makes sure there will be \u201cno hard border\u201d between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
\nThe prime minister said the rights of EU citizens living in the UK and British citizens living in the EU will be protected
\nA financial settlement will be paid by the UK to the EU which is \u201cfair to the British taxpayer\u201d, May said.\u00a0
\nDUP leader Arlene Foster said she was now satisfied there would now be \u201cno red line down the Irish Sea\u201d separating Northern Ireland from Great Britain.
\nMay will personally guarantee to the people of Ulster six promises, including leaving the EU customs union and single market and upholding the Good Friday Agreement peace deal
\nThe first hint of a real breakthrough came when the chief of staff of EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker tweeted a photo of a puff of white smoke emerging from the Vatican. The DUP may not have found funny that the post-Brexit future of Northern Ireland was being referenced in a joke about the Pope being elected. And it remains to be seen who will have the last laugh.<\/p>\n

DUP leader Arlene Foster was satisfied there would be \u2018no red line down the Irish sea\u2019, yet she hinted that the late-night telephone calls<\/a> to No.10 had not been entirely to her liking. \u201cWe ran out of time essentially,\u201d she said, adding \u201cbut the PM has decided to go to Brussels\u201d despite that. For all the talk of May being a prisoner of her Ulster allies, it was Juncker\u2019s firm deadline of Sunday night for reaching a Phase 1 deal that forced the issue overnight.<\/p>\n

The wonderfully elastic phrase \u2018regulatory alignment\u2019 remains in the text, though with extra guarantees to the DUP that the issue will be sorted in the next phase of talks. And that\u2019s what today is really about: a classic EU fudge that kicks the can down the road once more. Juncker was suspiciously nice to May this morning, and no wonder as he\u2019s got his way on hard cash and EU citizens\u2019 rights.<\/p>\n

Getting to this point has required give and take on both sides Theresa May
\nBoth sides had to listen to each other, adjust their position, and show their willingness to compromise Jean-Claude Juncker,
\nThere are still matters there that we would have liked to see clarified \u2013 we ran out of time Arlene Foster
\nBrexit talks can now move onto phase two,\u00a0sorting out a new trade deal between the UK and the EU. Donald Tusk, the President of the European Council, told a press conference the first task was to agree what a transition arrangement will look like before the UK leaves in March 2019. \u201cSo much time has been devoted to the easier part of the task. And now, to negotiate a transition arrangement and a framework for our future relationship, we have de facto less than a year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
