Morawiecki:

It's Worth Compromising to Give Our British Friends a Few Months to Leave the EU

Michał Olech

I want to emphasize that I still hope for an exit of Great Britain [from the EU] that will not be based solely on World Trade Organization agreement, but on an agreement between the EU and Great Britain, meaning a soft, calm exit of Great Britain, and we will of course discuss this today and I will present this position. I will also warn against those risky appeals that very much shorten the deadline to March 29th, and that's practically in a week. Thus, they are creating a situation of enormous pressure, putting Great Britain against the wall. I think it's worth compromising to give our British friends a few months to leave the EU, and this will be in the interest of the EU, Poland, and Great Britain - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki before the European Council summit in Brussels. As the head of the Polish government emphasized, this could be an additional 2-3 months.
