BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Union’s chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said on Friday it was not possible to put a concrete figure on the amount of money Britain will have to pay the EU upon exiting the bloc because numbers may change in the future.
“I have never quoted any figures and will not start today … because they can change,” Barnier told a news conference.
He said he was satisfied with the agreement between the EU and Britain that no EU country, including Britain, would have to pay more or receive less as a result of Britain’s decision to leave the bloc in 2019.
