Where will Brexit go?

These days are days when the EU and UK negotiators are talking about the next steps of the process. EU is digesting the UK White Paper and mo official repsonse has been published yet. The clock is ticking and the world is waiting.

Where will Brexit go? It is a complicated matter and anybody that says it is not, is simply not correct. So what is the road to Brexit?

The politics is the real challenge here. Will the deadlock break? And when?

I have said for a long time that from a technical perspective this is not a difficult problem. We know how to design a fast and safe border today, using Trusted Trader concepts to move Customs, tariffs and non-tariff border formalities ways from the border – and using modern low friction technology for the border identification process. It is possible to create a non-stop-shop at the borders, while still fulfilling all formalities regulated by international law. This is not the real challenge.

The real challenge is to get to the point where this can be agreed at the lowest possible cost for everybody involved.

Is this what will happen? We don’t know yet. But hopefully soon we will know. Since we all need to start preparing for a post-Brexit environment.
