European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told the European Parliament that she can agreement with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on setting high standards in the post Brexit relations. She said, “I’ve heard ambition in Boris Johnson’s speech, ambition on minimum wage, ambition on parental payments… I have heard ambition on cutting carbon emissions, ambition on guaranteeing that our firms are competing in full fairness.”
“This is what we also want. Let us formally agree on these objectives. We can formally trigger an upward dynamic competition that would benefit both the United Kingdom and the European Union,” she added.
