The European Union is \u201cabsolutely\u201d open to Prime Minister Keir Starmer\u2019s plan for an overhaul of the United Kingdom\u2019s post-Brexit trading relationship, Ireland\u2019s premier has said. Simon Harris said the EU would give a \u201cfair hearing\u201d to \u201cany proposal that the British government has.\u201d\u00a0 Labour, which won a historic majority in Thursday\u2019s U.K. general election, has said it wants to negotiate a veterinary agreement with the bloc in a bid to smooth trade and reduce border friction for businesses, among other changes to the Brexit settlement.<\/p>\n<p>The Taoiseach said Ireland \u201cwill always be an ally of Britain having a closer relationship with the European Union.\u201d \u201cI do absolutely think there would be a fair hearing for any proposal that the British government or indeed the EU has about ironing out practical issues in terms of having a relationship that works,\u201d Harris told Sky News. \u201cIs there space to have a veterinary agreement, is there space in terms of student mobility, is there space to work closer together on issues? I think there absolutely is. \u201cAnd I do think there would be a willingness in Europe to have those conversations in due course, should that be the wish of the British government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>EU officials have previously told POLITICO a veterinary agreement \u2014 also known as a sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) agreement \u2014 would require the U.K. to align with EU rules on food and agriculture and to accept a role for the European Court of Justice. EU ambassador Pedro Serrano said earlier this year that such a deal would come with certain \u201cmodalities\u201d that the U.K. would have to accept. Other reports have suggested the EU might want to see progress on its priorities, such as a youth mobility agreement and better access for EU fishermen, in exchange for signing such an agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Also speaking on Sunday, Labour\u2019s new Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds told Sky that he welcomed the Taoiseach\u2019s &#8216;onstructive attitude&#8217;. \u201cIf we can sell more whisky, more salmon to a market which is so significant to us, of course we should explore an opportunity like that,\u201d Reynolds said of his party\u2019s proposals for an SPS agreement. \u201cI think moving forward to, to be frank, a relationship to Europe that is not determined by the internal politics of the Conservative Party is very much in the national interest in the U.K.,\u201d Reynolds said.<\/p>\n<p>But he added that changes to the U.K.\u2019s broader \u201cconstitutional arguments,\u201d including a return of freedom of movement, would not be considered. British Foreign Secretary David Lammy traveled to Berlin on Saturday, barely 24 hours after his boss Keir Starmer was sworn in as the country\u2019s new prime minister on Saturday. \u201cIt\u2019s time to reset our relationship with our European friends and allies,\u201d Lammy said.<\/p>\n<p>That language was echoed on Friday by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who told Starmer that she looked forward to meeting to discuss ways to \u201cstrengthen cooperation and reset the relationship\u201d between the U.K. and EU, according to an EU read-out of a call between the two leaders. Starmer himself told German chancellor Olaf Scholz he wanted \u201cgreater economic cooperation,\u201d while a separate call with French President Emmanuel Macron covered \u201cshared priorities, including migration and the economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The quick move to rapprochement with Europe has spooked some Tory Euroskeptics. David Frost, the Conservative peer who negotiated Boris Johnson\u2019s Brexit settlement, told the Mail on Sunday that \u201cwhatever Labour may have said before the election, we can expect them now to take every opportunity to start chipping away at our national independence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those fears were exacerbated on Saturday, after the Germany foreign ministry posted on X: \u201cWe are working with the new U.K. government to see how the U.K. can move closer to the EU.\u201d During the U.K.\u2019s six week general election, Conservative candidates including former Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch repeatedly attacked Labour\u2019s ambitions for Europe, accusing the party of failing to explain what trade-offs it would be willing to make to secure its aims.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/europe-brexit-ireland-united-kingdom-keir-starmer-simon-harris\/\">Politico<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/yleinen\/irish-prime-minister-eu-open-to-keir-starmers-brexit-plan\/\">Irish prime minister: EU open to Keir Starmer\u2019s Brexit plan<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,1],"tags":[2165,555,274,579,655],"class_list":["post-132216","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-yleinen","tag-brexit","tag-csr-news-en","tag-eu","tag-uk","tag-yleinen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132216"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132216\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
