EU's Barnier says Brexit divorce deal an 'absolute priority' for EU
“Full & effective implementation of Withdrawal Agreement will always be an absolute priority for (the EU),” Michel Barnier wrote on Twitter
The Brexit divorce deal agreed last year must fully enter force and is a top priority for the bloc as it looks to forge a new relationship with Britain, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator said on Thursday.
"Full & effective implementation of Withdrawal Agreement will always be an absolute priority for (the EU)," Michel Barnier wrote on Twitter.
"It is the result of long EU-UK negotiations & the only way to protect Good Friday (Belfast) Agreement, guaranteeing peace and stability on island of Ireland."
