In this frank and uncompromising account, De Rynck tells the EU's side of the story and seeks to dispel some of the myths and spin that have become indelibly linked to the Brexit process. From the mood in the room to the technical discussions, he gives an unvarnished account of the deliberations and obstacles that shaped the final deal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDe Rynck demonstrates how the EU-27's unity held firm throughout, while the UK vacillated, changed negotiators, changed prime ministers and changed their aims and tactics. Attempts by the UK to run down the clock and issue ultimatums to force the EU to acquiesce are shown to have had no effect on the course of events. Instead Barnier's team was successful in protecting EU interests, in fulfilling the mandate defined by 27 national governments while still agreeing different forms of Brexit with two UK prime ministers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the EU, Brexit was not, as some UK commentators and politicians liked to portray it, a fight with the UK. It was a fight to get a deal that worked for the EU.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43104975224876,"sku":"9781788215688","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781788215688.jpg?v=1713021093","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.pro\/products\/inside-the-deal-how-the-eu-got-brexit-done","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
