Ex-civil servant: ‘Europe screwed every last millimetre out of us in 1970s negotiations’
5 Live In ShortAvailable for over a year
As the UK prepares to enter two years of negotiations with the EU after the triggering of Article 50, many are wondering how the discussions will shape up. One man who has a greater insight than most is former civil servant Julian Anderson, who worked on negotiations when the UK joined the EEC in the 1970s. He told 5 live’s Tony Livesey they “screwed every last millimetre out of us.” “There are going to be some quite serious losers. I don’t know who they are, David Davis doesn’t know who they are, but they will be there.” This clip is originally from 5 live Drive on 30 March 2017.
