According to her, the first phase of “implementation” will begin as soon as agreement is reached on the output, but businesses and governments will need some time to adjust to the new rules.
“Once we make a deal as soon as you agree on what will be a new relationship, will need to allocate time when business and government fit system, etc., depending on the nature of the transaction”, – she explained.
Statement of T. Mae “explicitly leaves open the possibility of free movement, at least temporary,” the newspaper writes.
However, the government stresses that Brexit would allow UK to control its borders.
Speaking to reporters during a visit to Jordan and Saudi Arabia, the Prime Minister said: “What is particularly important to the British public that voted in last year, they wanted confidence that we can control our borders and to control immigration. This is what we do when we leave the EU”.
Freedom of movement in labor force is one of the key principles of the EU, involving not only the free movement of workers, but also the abolition of any employment discrimination for those who came from other countries-members of the Union.
