Brexit | Find pragmatic solutions together: New round of Brexit negotiations

Highlights: Use the UK government reshuffle for a fresh start of negotiations ++ The chemical industry would be particularly affected by a hard Brexit. 

VCI on the upcoming Brexit negotiations between the United Kingdom and the EU: “After the cabinet resignations in the UK, it now seems that the way is free for a solution-oriented approach in the negotiations."

VCI director-general Utz Tillmann hopes that the government reshuffle in the United Kingdom will bring fresh content in the Brexit negotiations. Tillmann: “After the cabinet resignations, it now seems that the way is free for a solution-oriented approach of Great Britain in the negotiations. Prime Minister May should not feel pressured by the remarks from the US President.” As little time is left until the decisive European Council meeting in October 2018, Tillmann thinks that a fast return to the negotiating table is currently the greatest priority: “Everything possible must be done to reach a negotiation result by October.
