“The UK has presented some ideas on an all-island SPS (animals and food products) solution. Further discussions between teams will take place next week,” the spokesperson said.

Very constructive meeting this morning with @Europarl_EN group leaders for an update on #Brexit.

Under the leadership of @EP_President Sassoli & with the support of #Brexit Steering Group, the role of the #EP will remain crucial.

None of the EU proposals on Irish border were accepted by the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. According to the European Parliament representative to Brexit talks, Guy Verhofstadt all three EU proposals on Irish border made by the European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker did not get an approval from the UK government.

The UK gov’t rejected 3 EU proposals on Ireland: the current backstop, the NI-only backstop & avoiding any other backstop by making the Political Declaration more binding. Time for the UK gov’t to make up its mind or propose a serious, concrete alternativehttps://t.co/miILQQrIun
