The United Kingdom’s Brexit minister David Davis has dismissed the huge exit bill that is being demanded by the European Union. According to the latest report, on the requests from several members, namely France, Poland, and Germany of the European Union the negotiators have revised the exit bill demand from €60 billion to €100 billion. The number could even rise further. However, Mr. Davis has shrugged off these huge numbers. Speaking to BBC, he said that Britain would honor international and legal obligations but ruled out the idea that the European Court of Justice (ECJ) could act as the arbitrator in the exit bill or any dispute and with regard to the bill, he said these numbers are not where the UK would end up on negotiation.
Speaking to Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain, Mr. Brexit secretary said, "We'll not be paying €100billion……..What we've got to do is discuss in detail what the rights and obligations are………It was €50billion at one point, €60billion, €100billion, we have not seen a number……….We have said we will meet our international obligations, but there will be our international obligations including assets and liabilities and there will be the ones that are correct in law, not just the ones the Commission want."
After these huge numbers from the EU and last week’s disastrous dinner talks between the European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and the UK Prime Minister Theresa May, it is increasingly looking like that the UK and EU are heading for a messy divorce.
