    Guy Verhofstadt – 2020 Comments on UK/EU Trade Deal

    The comments made by Guy Verhofstadt on 24 December 2020.

    Finally a historic & unprecedented deal in the interest of all is reached. While less ambitious than we wanted, through binding arbitration it fully preserves the single market. Thanks to Michel Barnier our Union came out of these negotiations more united and stronger.

    I hope future UK politicians will build on this partnership so we can regain the close relationship that the EU and the UK deserve. It will be a first step in the return of the UK into the European family.

    Huge congratulations to Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the Democrats for your impressive achievement.

    This is a dark day for populists and authoritarians globally who took inspiration from Trump’s rotten ideology.

    The European Union and the United States must work together for a better, more free world.

  • Guy Verhofstadt – 2019 Statement on Suspending Parliament

    Below is the text of the Twitter comments made by Guy Verhofstadt, the Brexit Co-ordinator for the European Parliament, on 28 August 2019.

    “Taking back control” has never looked so sinister. As a fellow parliamentarian, my solidarity with those fighting for their voices to be heard.

    Suppressing debate on profound choices is unlikely to help deliver a stable future EU – UK relationship.
