Michel Barnier, the EU's former chief Brexit negotiator, said the bloc could move to carry out such actions and strip Britain of its zero-tariff and zero-quota deal with the bloc should it fail to meet certain standards. It comes as Brussels attempts to rebuild the eurozone 27 member-state economy following financial fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. Last week, after much deliberation, the bloc approved the coronavirus recovery fund that will be the first stepping stone in a long road to regaining the eurozone's momentum on the world stage. It is the first time that the EU as a single group took on collective debt, something that the European Economic Community (EEC) - the EU's predecessor - agreed not to do.

"In the 1950s, there were magnificent Jaguar cars that were extremely strong cars. "But if you had an accident in one of them you ended up dead, the car didn't bend much, it didn't crumble, it would be intact but you would be dead - and that's the euro. "The str |
