Edgy dinner date fails to quell Brexit concerns

Last weekend, the EU27 got together to decide on its negotiation strategy with the UK once the formal Brexit talks begin in the weeks following Britain’s general election on June 8.
Apparently there was a very strong consensus among the 27 participant countries at the meeting about what needs to be done to protect the strength and integrity of the EU. It is clear that there is little appetite to give the UK any concessions that might weaken the EU, particularly in relation to the freedom of movement of people, which is one of the four key pillars upon which the Single European Market is built.
