Merkel:
'We will make sure that negotiations will not be carried out as a cherry-picking exercise. There must be and there will be a palpable difference between those countries who want to be members of the European family and those who don’t ...
Whoever wants to leave this family cannot expect to shed all its responsibilities but keep the privileges ...
Those for example, who want free access to the single market will in return have to respect European basic rights and freedoms ... That’s true for GB just as much as for the others.
Free acccess to the single market is granted to those who accept the four basic European freedoms - that of people, goods, services and capital .Norway for instance is not a member of the European Union but has access to the single market because it accepts open migration from the European Union.'
Hello Schengen!
Schengen and the free movement of people are different things. Schengen basically means that there are no border controls. The UK and Ireland have free movement of people but are not in Schengen. I don't see why this would have to change.
Free movement with Schengen= anyone can enter.
Free movement without Schengen= anyone can enter after showing an ID.
