#Brexit - Steering group insists on need for Ireland/Northern Ireland backstop
European Parliament Brexit Steering Group chaired by Guy Verhofstadt (pictured) issued the following statement on Monday 15 October:
“We have followed very closely the developments of the last 24 hours.
"It is our very strong view that the Withdrawal Agreement must include a workable, legally operational and all-weather backstop for the Ireland/Northern Ireland border fully in line with the Joint Report of last December and the Prime Minister May’s letter to President Tusk of 19 March 2018.
"Without such a backstop, the European Parliament would not be in a position to give its consent to the Withdrawal Agreement.
"We reiterate our full support for the Chief Negotiator and his negotiating strategy.”
