it's been clear from the start, you either have a canada style model or you have a european economic areathen you can argue about the doors, windows and the colour of the curtains. because the government utterly failed and spent two years arguing amongst themselves, they have not got the basic foundation of a deal in place. if we had gone to the eu from the start which is what i have been saying for years now, saying we need the european economic area as the basic model, we won't solve the northern irish model unless we are in some form of customs union and single market but we need serious reform on the way free movement of labour works. articles 112 and 113 of the agreement actually enable the suspension and reform of any one of the four freedoms that underpin the single market. first you must agree the basic foundations of the deal. rather than try to pull a rabbit out of the hat and create something create something really new, which the eu looks at and says, this is just going to undermine the integrity of the single market which is our red line. i'm afraid the prime minister has utt

movement's backers says they still want good economic relations with europe though ireland left the european union i would like us to stay in the european economic area and i think the whole idea of moving around erasmus problems they're all very good but they shouldn't come with a political price that you have to sort of beef up your military that has to change a tax system that you know you have difficulty holding up the public utilities it's a political part of the european union which is scaring people off the government's as it should to do the bracks negotiation at the moment that's completely baffling it's quite clear that our interest is in getting the united kingdom a good deal because we are so dependent on some people in ireland who are i've still got a lingering anger phobia and they will be pipe prepared to be much more hardline even if it damaged our interests as long as the damage united kingdom i find that argument per. the party might struggle to win over the irish public the latest poll found that just eleven percent of voters want to leave the european union some people told us why quitting would be a bad idea. the benefits that i

we have done well within the framework but within terms of the european economic area, for our economyin, let's say, the euro system, we would be at the mercy of positions taken at the european central bank. it would be like a straitjacket. decisions on trades and other things, at the european central bank would never be based on anything that has to do specifically with events and developments in the icelandic economy. vonnie: thanks very much for your time, ambassador geir haarde, iceland's ambassador to the united states. julie: time for the bloomberg business flash. the biggest stories in the news. the richest person in the world fund tog a $2 billion help the homeless. jeff bezos will create nonprofit preschools in low income communities. he is fund to help worth $164 billion. homelessness is a problem on the west coast. airbus replacing the sales chief after less than a year on the job. eric schultz joined from rolls-royce, he was hired to turn airbus into a challenger to boeing. that is your bloomberg business flash. vonnie: thank you very much. for thefour minutes european side

the first option would involve the uk staying in the european economic area, and a customs union with the eu would continue, and we couldn't do trade deals we want with other countries. that would make a mockery of the referendum we had two years ago. creating any form of customs border between northern ireland and the rest of the uk would not respect that northern ireland is an integral part of the united kingdom, in line with the principle of consent, as set out clearly in the belfast good friday agreement. it is something i will never agree to. indeed, in my judgment, it is something no british prime minister would ever agree to. if the eu believe i will, they are making a fundamental mistake. anything which fails to respect the referendum, or which effectively divides our country in two, would be a bad deal. and i have always said no deal is better than a bad deal. we both agree that the withdrawal agreement needs to include a backstop, to ensure that if there is a delay in implementing our new relationship there still won't be a hard border between ireland and northern ireland. b

norway is a member of european economic area. norway also has full access to the single market.ade deals around the world. some of it you would think would be attractive to people who wa nt to would be attractive to people who want to leave the european union but of course the other thing about norway is it has to accept a lot of eu rules that it doesn‘t have direct say over making and makes sizeable contributions to the eu budget. not as big per person as we do as full members but still fairly sizeable. it would be hard for anyone to say the days of the budget payments to brussels had come to an end. there are upsides and downsides but for a lot of businesses it would maintain the close link. but you don't have a seat at the table. now, what the norwegians say is a lot of the standards we are talking about are set globally so the norwegians lobby furiously at a global level so by the time they drift down to an eu level they feel they have already made their point. they also have a huge embassy in brussels which lobbies furiously behind the scenes. they say they reckon most of t
