Brexit supporters give British PM TheresaMay three tests for EuropeanUnion deal
LONDON - Brexit-supporting lawmakers who voted down British Prime Minister Theresa May's European Union withdrawal deal in January have outlined demands for a revised treaty to ensure their support, the Sunday Times newspaper said.
These are a"clearly worded, legally binding, treaty-level clause which unambiguously overrides" the text of the withdrawal agreement, with language that goes beyond emphasising the temporary nature of the backstop and a clear means to exit the backstop if subsequent trade talks fail. The EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier said on Friday that the bloc was ready to give Britain more guarantees that the backstop was only intended to be temporary and used for a"worst-case scenario".
