Local time on April 29th, the day before the Spring Festival in Europe, the European Council, the British back to Europe special summit held in Brussels on schedule.

The meeting issued the "European Council British retreat European negotiations" guidelines (European Council (Art. 50) guidelines for Brexit negotiations), is the official response to the British in March 29th to the European champions back for.

"It took us only 4 minutes to reach an agreement." At the press conference after the meeting, the European Council president Tusk told reporters. At the same time, the presence of the European Commission Chairman Juncker, said in a speech in France, the United Kingdom a lot of people completely underestimate the technical complexity of the negotiations back to europe. In response to a reporter asked last week meeting in London and Mei prime minister when he was bantering said: "great, of course I do not mean dishes."

Guidance on the 28 aspects of the content in a total of 6 points, still is: 27 country "and one" of British negotiations, negotiations will be phased, Britain must fulfill all obligations and duties previously undertaken as a member of the EU, specifically is to pay breakup fee must be; come up with practical solutions, protect the citizens both in the European Union and the British living work right -- only to take effective action in these important aspects, has made important progress, and get 27 EU approval, the British hope as soon as possible for free trade negotiations should begin.

Scotland is busy campaigning British Prime Minister Teresa May and the 10 Downing street, the prime minister, the program did not give a comment or respond to the eu.

In fact, Mei in the last week has been aware of the negotiation situation is grim, and said: "I am familiar to voters' EU lined with British confrontation 'situation, she urged voters to vote Conservative, thus giving her more strong rights, so that she won the champions back in the negotiations in Britain the most favorable results.

Breakup fee does not pay, FTA negotiations can not start

There are 90% likely to win in the French presidential election in Holland in the background of extreme right-wing anti European candidate Valdez defeat and Ma cron, the global populist raging like a storm situation seems to have been effectively curbed.

This is the confidence of the 27 EU countries to other countries to prevent further collapse of the EU following the British foundation, defend the unified determination, is clearly more firm and urgent.

Within minutes after Tusk walked into the meeting, the leaders of the 27 countries unanimously voted on the guiding principle, not surprising. Moreover, as early as in March, the principle of the draft began to flow in the hands of the leaders of the country, and after several discussions and changes.

In the "guiding principle" copy, the reporter did not find before by the media hype, "alarmist" long 60 billion euro breakup fee, but with a single "bill" (A single financial settlement) to express. This "single bill" is not specific, just generally includes the British have been made to the EU budget and the European investment bank, the European development fund, the European Central Bank's commitment and obligations and debt. But Premier Battelle (Xavier Bettel) in an interview with reporters after the meeting revealed that the single bill amount of about 40 billion to 60 billion euros between.

Another key element of the guidelines is how to protect the rights of citizens living and working and studying in the UK, which is about 4 million 500 thousand of the EU Member States and citizens living on the continent. So far, the British government has not made a clear arrangement, never through tone, any statement.

Britain has said the EU would give up the "single market" access rights, but the so-called "aspiring" hopes to sign a free trade agreement with the European Union, the European Union in the "back in Europe" guidelines specifically pointed out that the EU will be based on its own interests, in Britain is no longer a member of the country after its negotiations, but reached the in addition, the agreement is balanced, a wide range of aspiring, not equal to or in part to participate in the "single market".

On the London based European regulators, including the European Pharmaceutical Supervision Bureau, the European Banking authority, "the principle of" clear will be out of the UK, by the EU Member States decided to move to where.

At present, Holland, Ireland, Italy, Sweden, Austria, Hungary and Malta, as well as Germany, Spain and other countries have been formally or informally expressed the European pharmaceutical regulatory bureau's coveted heart. Austria, said the drug administration of the headquarters of the country's economy played a role in promoting the value of up to 1 billion 100 million euros.

Early elections can be conducive to the negotiations back to Europe is nonsense"

The 27 countries of the European Union on Saturday expressed "strong agreement on the attitude of the British", led directly to the British one by one to tackle, "alliance", a so-called "easy divorce" and "the best results of the negotiations" fantasy, instantly shattered.

In fact, the efforts already made by the Waterloo encounter. Last week, Davies, the European Union's secretary of state, denied that he had failed to seek an alliance in the EU, and that he had not been successful in seeking informal contact with germany. It now appears that this is not without signs; not long ago, British Foreign Secretary Johnson on the European Union and the United Kingdom on both sides of the civil rights of citizens to negotiate the proposal, but also the European side flatly rejected. Europe has made it clear that all discussions must be possible after the British election,

In June last year, Britain has just made a decision to withdraw from Europe, the attitude is relatively moderate, the German Chancellor, Merkel, has also joined the ranks of hardliners. "The EU is united into a very complex" negotiation "process, we must put the interests of the EU in the first place." She pointed out sharply, "this is an obvious thing, but the British still have illusions about it".

Ma cron in May 7th or will become France's youngest president is expected to achieve the EU, the eldest, second in Germany and France, in the UK will no doubt return to Europe more consistent. During the campaign to visit Downing street, 10, Ma Kelong, as early as February this year, put on a tough attitude towards europe.

The European Parliament talks back in Europe (Guy Verhofstadt) Commissioner M Hofstadter wrote last week in the "Guardian", Teresa May decided to advance the election is political opportunism behavior, and that she tried to get more support in parliament, in order to get more chips and more power in negotiations with the European Union, is completely groundless statement. "Never mind ahead of the election in Brussels, the European side noted that the prime minister may have made a tough attitude, she has achieved good results in the negotiations on the decline, and she in the country is basically nothing."

British economy by the negative impact of the withdrawal of Europe is emerging

Although in the past 9 months, the macroeconomic data show that the UK economy has a certain elasticity, after the devaluation of the pound more than 15% began to rebound, the FTSE 100 to refresh the record, however, the GDP data of the British National Bureau of statistics Friday released the latest show, Britain's first quarter GDP growth of 0.3%, since the first quarter of 2016 quarter growth rate of the slowest.

The Statistics Bureau said that the retail trade is the biggest drag on the first quarter UK GDP growth; the decline in housing prices and rental property slump has also played a negative effect; at the same time, the inflation rate has been two consecutive months of more than 2% of the target value, after reaching 2.3% -- from the back European referendum, the inflation rate has doubled 4 times; and consumer confidence also recently had dropped significantly.

After Friday's data, standard & Poor's reaffirmed the UK's sovereign rating of AA\/A-1+, the outlook remains negative. S & P believes that the British back in Europe brought about by the uncertainty, continue to pose a risk to economic performance and large financial services; back in Europe brings the challenge to the British constitutional government; in future negotiations back in Europe confused environment, sampp lowered the forecast for Britain's economic prospects, is expected to GDP the average growth rate of 2017-2020 was 1.4%, lower than the back in Europe before the expected 2017-2019 years 2.1%.

欧盟开出英“脱欧”条件:600亿英镑“分手费”

欧盟领导人召开英国脱欧首场峰会 保守估计索要600亿英镑

欧盟领导人4月29日在比利时布鲁塞尔召开针对英国“脱欧”问题的第一场峰会，讨论与英国“离婚”的条件。这些领导人一致同意，英国必须首先保证欧盟公民权益、交纳“分手费”并同意一些其他条款，而后才有资格和欧盟谈贸易合作。英国媒体援引外交人士的话说，欧盟方面口气强硬，恐引发英国民众愤慨，使首相特雷莎？梅难以接受这些条件。

欧盟版本“分手信”

英国首相特雷莎-梅3月29日向欧盟递交“脱欧”信函，通知其英方正式启动“脱欧”程序，英国与欧盟将有两年时间完成“脱欧”谈判。信中写道，如果英国不能和欧盟“好聚好散”，双方的安全事务合作将大受影响，打击犯罪和反恐行动都会被削弱。对这一措辞，不少欧盟高级官员表示难以接受，称这是英国对欧盟的“公然威胁”。

除英国外的欧盟27国领导人29日召开首场“脱欧”峰会，针对与英国接下来的谈判拟定一份长达8页的指导大纲，要求英国必须满足多个前提条件，而后才可启动贸易相关谈判。

这份指导大纲写道，英国必须首先保证境内约300万名欧盟公民的权益。欧洲理事会主席唐纳德-图斯克说：“我们需要保证公民及其家属的权益，‘脱欧’将给欧盟和英国都带来影响。这是谈判中的第一要务，对于欧盟和英国来说都是如此。”

同时，欧盟还要求英国交纳高额“分手费”，这也被视为“脱欧”系列谈判中最棘手的部分。英国媒体报道，欧盟索要的“分手费”高达600亿英镑（约合5353亿元人民币）。而欧盟委员会主席让-克洛德-容克在峰会上表示，这一数字只是“保守估计”，实际费用尚未计算完毕。

英国怒斥“遭围攻”

更让英国郁闷的是，欧盟方面还提出一条有关北爱尔兰的条款。这项条款指出，一旦北爱尔兰地区将来与爱尔兰合并，这一地区将自动加入欧盟。

此外，在与英国海外属地直布罗陀有关的问题上，欧盟都将站在西班牙这一边。英国和西班牙在直布罗陀主权问题上长期存在分歧。1713年，西班牙与英国签订条约，将直布罗陀割让给英国。此后直布罗陀接受英国管治，而西班牙一直希望能够恢复行使对该地区的主权。

针对欧盟方面提出的条件，一些英国媒体大呼“苛刻”。路透社指出，欧盟方面认为，欧盟谈判的关键在于让英国“脱欧”后占不到任何便宜，以打消其他成员国效仿的念头。

德国财政部长沃尔夫冈？朔伊布勒29日接受媒体记者采访时似乎印证了这一观点。他说：“离开欧盟后，英国肯定不会得到其他国家没有的好处。天下没有免费的午餐。”

针对欧盟方面的强硬措辞，有“新铁娘子”之称的特雷莎？梅也不甘示弱。她说：“我们的对手已经准备好干扰谈判。同时，另外27个欧洲国家正在联手围攻我们。”
