Brexit: Growing expectation that UK will trigger Article 16 – RTE
|RTE Europe Editor Tony Connelly tweeted out on Friday that there is a growing expectation that the UK will trigger Article 16.
"There’s a belief that the UK may be miscalculating the EU’s response, ie that we’ll get into a slow period of legal action in which the UK suspends its Protocol obligations and things will then drag on thru a process," Connelly added. "However, the view is that the EU’s response could be much swifter and more “radical” than expected."
