I think there will always be a place at the table for dinner to kingdom if they were ever choose to choose to come back im certain no matter what happens we will have good relations with the United Kingdom a Good PartnershipPolitical Security and economic into the future we have here today is a revised agreement at the backstop has been replaced with a new solution a new protocol on our land in Northern Ireland it is unique solution one that reckon recognizes the unique history and geography of Northern Ireland its different from the back stop at the back stop was never intended to be used was only to be temporary unless and until it was superseded by a new solution was to be a sort of insurance policy and this illusion is different its more likely to be used to come into force and possibly could become permanent but only with the consent of the elected representatives of Northern Ireland choosing to continue this arrangement into the future. There will be as a consequence of this agreement a transition period running at least until the end of 2020 but extendable until the end of 2022 in which nothing will change those getting certainty to citizens and businesses in ireland in britain and also across the European Union. And the new solution kicks in after a 4 year period after that when that period ends a decision will lie with the Northern Ireland assembly as to whether they want to to continue are not there be wreckage realignment and goods so that any checks will happen i would happen at the ports and customs arrangements that allows Northern Irelands to stay in the u. K. Customs territory but is organized in such a way that allows them to benefit from any trade deals that the United Kingdom might do but still there will be no tariffs on trade between north and south no checks along the land border which is crucial from our point of view but above all what i can say today is that our objectives as arland founders europe the National Citizens rights are protected those to use that isnt sitting in the u. K. And also u. K. Citizens living in the European Union we have a financial settlement that we know our border between north and size the all ireland economy will continue to develop north side cooperation as a basij by the good friday agreement can resume and continue we secured the integrity of the european Single Market and our place in ish the common travel area between the u. K. And ireland will stay in place for those reasons earlier i was able to recommend that this agreement that this treaty be endorsed by the European Council and it has been unanimously so narrow the decision moves it goes on to the house of commons in the European Parliament for them to consider this treaty disagreement and i hope sincerity ratify it so we can all move on to the next phase of relations. Thank you finally turning to the e. U. Chief negotiator. Who got. Everyone 1st or thank you very much from the now the. Actual code for you she pork now can live here today but there are only just 3 years. Those. Digital and todays agreement is the result of an intensive work by both sides you could government as when to open one point. In the which is the right to remove the question of the protocol on our land and notion island we didnt carefully and passionately through the arguments we explain our position we work closely with the tea shop which simon governor do and the teams we persisted also went to with the u. K. Where difficult. And we succeed to get or i. Wont go into details today. What our text ever born im in full detail but i want to underlie the one point i mentioned already this morning why the subject matter in the negotiating room may often very often have been technical. About customs good borders what does matter of above all will has been for me even for my team has been people in our around and off and on for me what really matters how the people of Northern Ireland and ireland had to be. Violent. We know. We now need the disagreement what you fight by our parliaments before the end of october and then to work on a new partnership starts with. As. I would just like 2 and 3 personal remarks if i may just briefly. First of all. My fax to all of those who have worked together as a team to achieve todays agreement. Clearly it still has to be confirmed or ratified by the European ParliamentEuropean Parliament has played a very significant role to particularly the brics its syrian group it also has to be approved by the house of commons the british parliament. Thanks to present you can support 3 years ago i was able to put together an Extraordinary Team i just like to thank that been bay and stephanies museum and theres nick. And all the members of this extraordinary scene theyve been very hard working theyve always been there for us and theyve worked along with the teams from the council donals team yapper d. D. A. The Legal Service general secretary at theyve worked together with the teams of all 27. 00 governments and of course the team from the European Parliament which ive already mentioned and of course the services of the commission whove been there day and night to provide their expertise is the fact that we Work Together collectively as a team that weve managed to come up with this result weve got 600. 00 pages in this treaty. As president duke was saying this provides legal certainty. Where the divorce that breaks to constitutes really bring so much on certainty. Now ive felt worked throughout those 3 years on the unity of the 27 Member States and the European Parliament it wasnt by pure chance patience patiently works on ensuring that we maintain that unity. Gone to school now and then the future president of the urban council can now into a sort of underline as a future president will i no doubt cultivate that now bracks it has been a negative. Perience in process its a lose lose process but i hope that they will build on that unity to face up to the many challenges which are part of what is a very positive agenda for the future of the e. U. And for european citizens. Finally like don 2 is going to include you and i to very much regret bricks it i deeply regret it however we respect it it was the sovereign choice of a majority in the u. K. I have a sort of goal list tendency myself but i have a great deal of admiration for the u. K. I always have had tremendous admiration and Great Respect for the u. K. We will never forget the solidarity shown by the british in our darkest hour and i have Great Respect for statesman like Winston Churchill and many others i have infinite respect for the u. K. And this is why throughout these no good negotiations you would have never heard one word from me that was aggressive or indicated that we wanted in some way to be vengeful thats not. My nature thats not the way i dealt with this and its even more important for the future relation that we proceed with the same feeling of respect and admiration. I think we should move ahead with the task of trying to build something together. For the future the u. K. Is going to be there in the future is going to be our economic partner after end and are allowed to protect the security of our entire continent thank you questions before the summit. I think david you were the 1st in the middle gentleman right there. Of things problem thanks aaron david person one with political president as you mentioned from mr johnsons concession on customs as kid of the deal i wonder if you can point to a. Similar concession on the e. U. Side is there any aspect of this in which the new shifted any of its red lines or principles and also looking forward we know promises johnson has expressed confidence about ratification but can you tell us what would happen in fact if the house of commons votes against this deal on saturday will there be an extension or for that matter if the European Parliament says they need more than 2 weeks to evaluate this very complicated agreement. There you cite to us from the very beginning you know in the decision very flexible and open for some Creative Solutions and i am not here to comment on the details you have from show that again dont let you do to explain in detail what this come from i see you have out to us without our good will and a very constructive approach and the kind of deal. One possible at of. Our intention to do to work towards that if occasion. We supported you and. The clear decision. On 27 of them to 7 Member States. And we are prepared for this ratifications logistically politically technically. Now the ball is in the court of the u. K. I have no idea what will be the result of the debate in the house of commons the on saturday its not for me to to comment on Political Developments and in the u. K. But if there is a request for an extension i will consult of the states to see how to react. And we turned 18 the thing just. Kept on pure you report or weve talked a lot of bite hal and this press for and i was wondering if we could move on to heaven and ask at. This is evil done a lot of hard work for the Peace Process in Northern Ireland but in order to be canonized you need a verified america so i was wondering what would you say to Arlene Foster the leader of the day you pay.

So when pass to the next question james.

Waters under the qantas response see. So many fisherman. And dad and intolerant very dependent on british territorial waters. And of course we have to think about exports of u. K. Processed fishers products to the Single Market all that is part of the whole. And weve got to take that into account in negotiations which will start if the agreement is finally ratified we shal give some priority to the conclusion of the new fisheries agreement providing for access by european fisherman to british share waters under conditions to be negotiated and of course that the access for british processed products to the. E. U. Market all that will have to be treated together and we shall be constructive and we take this as a priority for us like you. Know you.
