(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) LONDON, Sept 23 (KUNA) -- President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz said Friday that once Brexit negotiations begin between the European Union and the UK, the EP will be a responsible and active partner.
"The greatest challenges would be trade and the issue of preserving the freedom of movement of goods, people, services and capital," Schulz told reporters following his meeting with British Prime Minister Theresa May.
The planned talks will be undoubtedly complicated and could take more than two years, he said.
He said that he discussed with Prime Minister May the challenges of EU-UK negotiations and why the EP believes article 50 should be triggered as soon as possible.
In addition to May, Schulz also met London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Thursday and Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the Labour Party, this morning. He concluded his two-day visit to London with a lecture at the European Institute of the London School of Economics this afternoon. (end) mrn.gb
