German MEP: Why the EU won’t make deal changes

A German member of the European Parliament has said that a β€œlack of trust” between the EU and the UK means any clarification on the withdrawal agreement is β€œa problem”.

Asked by 5 Live’s Anna Foster why the EU would not make changes to the deal, German MEP Gabriele Zimmer said it was because β€œthe majority of members of the House of Commons would not be interested”.

β€œThey’ve decided before that they [don’t want] to accept the withdrawal agreement – so what should we offer again? It was not possible to get a common agreement,” she said.
