UK’s Johnson to table new Brexit plan ‘very soon’

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Tuesday that the United Kingdom would be announcing a new proposal for the Brexit deal, away from the leak plan for the Irish border.

"We're going to make a very good offer," Johnson said on BBC television in Manchester, where his Conservative party conference is taking place.

According to his long-awaited proposal reported to the British and Irish media, he suggests that he wants to inspect commodities far from the Irish border and investigate food and produce.

& # 39; Non-starter & # 39; plan

The reported plan is now in place to freely maintain the border between the EU member states and the UK's Northern Ireland after Brexit, scheduled for October 31.

Irish Deputy Prime Minister Simon Coveney called the reported plan "non-starters."

Covney said Northern Ireland and his country "are better worth it."

Johnson said that the media coverage of his proposal on BBC Radio is "not accurate."

He said the so-called commodity clearance center is not part of his solution, and the British press will announce it in Brussels over the weekend.

However, the United Kingdom has confirmed that, as in Ireland, it has already proposed a way to abolish the overhaul of some foods that cross cattle and borders by allowing EU rules in Northern Ireland.

He suggested that "a single area of ​​agriculture, sanitation and phytosanitary agri-food, a great concession from the British government."

"Many deals in North Korea are dealing with [to] In the south of the border, Britain did not make decisions in Brussels on sanitary and phytosanitary rules. "

Johnson also reaffirmed his promise to secure Brexit without delay.

Brexit deadline approach

The departure date for the UK has already been postponed twice before the end of March.

Johnson also denied the claim that he pressed the thighs of a young female journalist 20 years ago, and suggested that the negative story about him was driven by feelings against Brexit.

"The country is a very difficult time in that Brexit is about to be completed and many people don't want Brexit to be done," he said.

Britain signed Brexit agreements with the European Union at former Prime Minister Teresa May last year, but the British Parliament rejected them three times.

The most controversial issue was the so-called backstop plan, which allowed the British and EU tariff allies to remain indefinitely to avoid checks on the Irish border.
