欧盟前脱欧谈判代表警告伯纳姆,英国无法“按需定制”重返单一市场,此前首相表示希望探索与欧洲建立更紧密的经济关系。
The former Brexit negotiator says EU countries would reject any British attempts to follow economic rules "a la carte". By Paul Seddon The EU's former Brexit negotiator has warned Andy Burnham he will not be able to rejoin its single market "à la carte", after the prime minister said he wanted to explore closer economic ties with Europe.
伯纳姆曾表示,重返欧盟内部市场是他重塑英国与欧盟长期关系时可考虑的选项之一。
Burnham has said rejoining the EU's internal market is among options he could pursue to reshape the UK's long-term relationship with the bloc.
在距离峰会召开还有10天之际,米歇尔·巴尼耶接受BBC《劳拉·昆斯伯格周日访谈》节目采访时表示,欧盟成员国将坚持要求英国若要这样做,必须重新接受包括人员自由流动在内的条件。
Speaking to the BBC's Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg ahead of a summit in 10 days' time, Michel Barnier said EU members would insist such a move require the UK to readopt conditions including the free movement of people.
呼应他在英国退出协议长达数年的谈判中广为人知的一句话,他说,参与单一市场的条件不存在“挑拣”的可能。
Echoing a line made famous during the years-long negotiations over the UK's exit deal, he said there could be no "cherry picking" of the conditions for participation.
自7月成为首相以来,伯纳姆曾暗示他可能会承诺工党致力于寻求与欧洲建立更紧密的未来关系,包括申请作为正式成员重返欧盟,但他排除了在下届大选前进行重大变革的可能性。
Since becoming prime minister in July, Burnham has suggested he could commit Labour to pursuing a much closer future relationship with Europe, including asking to rejoin the organisation as a full member, though he has ruled out major changes before the next election.
巴尼耶——他在2016年至2021年间主导英国脱欧谈判,并于2024年短暂担任法国总理三个月——表示,欧洲对于英国作为成员国重返欧盟“敞开大门”。
Barnier - who led talks over the UK's exit between 2016 to 2021 and had a three-month spell as French prime minister in 2024 - said the "door is open" within Europe to the UK rejoining as an EU member.
但他坚持认为,任何重返单一市场的举措——单一市场旨在确保商品可在欧洲自由贸易——都将要求英国遵守与其他成员国相同的条款。
But he insisted that any move to rejoin the single market - which seeks to ensure that goods can be freely traded within Europe - would require the UK to follow the same terms as other members.
他补充说,这包括遵守旨在促进商品、服务、资本和人员流通的法规,这些在欧盟机构内统称为“四大自由”。
He added that this included compliance with regulations designed to promote the circulation of goods, services, capital and people, referred to collectively within EU institutions as the four freedoms.
针对“单一市场按需定制”的想法,他警告说:“在这些脱欧谈判期间,我曾非常非常多次地说过,不存在挑拣的可能。”
Warning against the idea of a "single market à la carte", he said: "I said very, very often during these negotiations, the Brexit, there is no cherry picking.
“要么四项自由全有,要么全无。这四项自由显然是进入单一市场的四个条件。”
"There will be no possibility to have one freedom and not the other. The four freedoms are clearly the four conditions to be inside a single market".
他还预测,欧盟国家将拒绝重设英国财政减免。该减免最早于1985年谈判达成,降低了英国对欧盟年度预算的缴款额度。
He also predicted EU countries would reject recreating the British financial rebate, first negotiated in 1985, that lowered UK contributions towards the EU's annual budget.
他补充说,英国决定退出欧盟造成了“新局面”,这意味着新的减免将“完全不在考虑范围之内”。
The UK's decision to leave the bloc had created "a new situation", he added, meaning a new rebate would be "off the table".
自由流动——允许欧盟公民无需申请签证即可自动在英国生活和工作——是2016年英国脱欧公投期间的关键议题。
Free movement - which allowed EU citizens to live and work in the UK automatically without applying for a visa - was a key issue during the 2016 Brexit referendum.
伯纳姆的前任、现任首相基尔·斯塔默爵士在工党2024年大选宣言中排除了重建自由流动的可能,任何再次主张恢复自由流动的举动,都将在未来大选中成为与保守党和改革英国党的关键分歧线。
Burnham's predecessor Sir Keir Starmer ruled out re-establishing it in Labour's manifesto ahead of the 2024 election, and any move to advocate it again would prove a key dividing line with the Conservatives and Reform UK at a future poll.
伯纳姆近日在一次采访中表示,如果没有公投,他不会重建自由流动,这促使唐宁街澄清,他目前并不主张恢复自由流动。
Burnham recently said in an interview that he would not re-establish free movement without a referendum, prompting Downing Street to clarify that he was not advocating its return at this point.
他此前曾表示,希望在本月晚些时候于布鲁塞尔举行的重新安排的峰会上,为与欧洲的关系列出“不同选项”,然后再设法就新关系与英国公众达成共识。
He has previously said he wanted to lay out "different options" for the relationship with Europe at a rescheduled summit in Brussels later this month, before trying to find a consensus with the British public on a new relationship.
双方都希望利用在布鲁塞尔的会晤,公布关于食品标准、青年签证以及将英国工业重新接入欧盟碳交易体系的协议。“虚假承诺与谎言”巴尼耶还将改革英国党领袖奈杰尔·法拉奇与法国政治家玛丽娜·勒庞相提并论。他说:“我们也有自己的法拉奇,那就是勒庞女士。同样的民粹主义,同样的谎言,同样的虚假承诺。”库恩斯贝格追问他指责谎言具体指什么,巴尼耶说:“例如,当法拉奇先生和约翰逊先生向英国民众承诺每周能拿回3.5亿英镑时,那不是真的,不可能实现。那是谎言。”
Both sides are hoping to use the meeting in Brussels to unveil deals on food standards, youth visas and re-linking British industry to the EU's carbon trading regime. 'False promises and lies' Barnier also compared Reform leader Nigel Farage to French politician Marine Le Pen. He said: "We have our own Farage. It is Mrs Le Pen. The same populism, the same lies, the same false promises." Asked by Kuenssberg to clarify what he was referring to with his accusation of lies, Barnier said "for instance, when Mr Farage and Mr Johnson promised the UK people to get back [£350] million per week, it was not true, it was not possible.
“投票脱欧”竞选团队(鲍里斯·约翰逊后来成为其关键人物)此前曾因其竞选大巴车身上的标语受到批评,该标语称英国每周向欧盟缴纳3.5亿英镑,并补充道:“让我们把这笔钱用在国民医疗服务体系(NHS)上。”
It was a lie". The Vote Leave campaign, of which Boris Johnson became a key figure, has been criticised previously for the slogan on the side of their campaign bus that said Britain sent £350m a week to the EU, adding: "Let's fund our NHS instead".
约翰逊在2017年表示:“一旦我们结清账目,我们将收回每周大约3.5亿英镑的控制权。正如我们许多人指出的那样,如果其中很大一笔钱用在NHS上,那将是一件好事。”
Johnson said in 2017 that "once we have settled our accounts, we will take back control of roughly £350m per week. It would be a fine thing as many of us have pointed out if a lot of that money went on the NHS".
批评人士指出,每周3.5亿英镑只是一个大致数字,代表的是“总额缴款”,并未考虑到英国每周7500万英镑的退款,以及欧盟在英国的投资。
Critics have said that the £350m per week was an approximate sum which represents a "gross contribution" and did not take into account the UK's £75m-a-week rebate, or the EU's investments in the UK.
此后,约翰逊为这一说法进行了辩护,称3.5亿英镑是基于英国对欧盟的总额缴款,实际上这是一个低估,因为英国的缴款预计会上升。
Johnson has since defended the claim saying the £350m was based on the UK's gross contribution to the EU, and was in fact an underestimate as UK contributions were due to rise.
约翰逊在2024年出版的回忆录中写道,欧盟在英国花费的资金并非“由英国人民民主控制”,“即使净额只有1.75亿英镑,那仍然是一笔巨款”。
In his memoirs published in 2024, Johnson said EU money spent in the UK was not "democratically controlled by the British people", and "even if the net figure was only £175m, that was still a hell of a lot of money".
法拉奇曾领导“英国脱欧党”,并未参与“投票脱欧”竞选团队,因此与3.5亿英镑的说法无关。他说:“这还是老巴尼耶的样子——傲慢、脱离现实、霸道。他每张嘴都在证明我们脱欧的决定是正确的。”
Farage, who led Leave UK and was not part of the Vote Leave campaign so not connected to the £350m claim, said: "It is the same old Barnier - arrogant, out of touch and a bully. He vindicates our decision to leave every time he opens his mouth."
