the remainor, about 50 or $60 million, which is what that's taken off of, so that's our original request for 1.5 million. >> these figures that you're bringing for the projected figures are about the same projects figures as we were using last year. >> this year is similar to last year's request. >> all right. as an individual, in terms of the commission, but as a commissioner with the rest of our colleagues here, i can understand and digest 1.5 and three mill because that was similar to what the scenario was last year. i know we're in a quote, unquote, robust economy and have been. i know there's some talk of budget and deficit, which i don't take lightly, as well. i know that deficits will occur, but i have a tough time of reacting in terms of what that number is, because if i just kind of react or i project, those numbers can get real, real large. and as i look at numbers that are less than what i project in my mind, i have a tendency that oh, that doesn't seem to be that bad or projected. honestly, commissioners, when i see an # 8 million rejected, fiscal 1819, and 173 million for 19

are pretty much 0k with that, they will think it will only apply to a few cross—border issue, the remainorsording of the text which mrs may agreed on friday is sufficiently vague and ambiguous to enable both side to draw the conclusions they want, from the deal, so for the time being there is a sort of temporary truce where everyone is going round with a bit of a smile op their face. and norman, looking ahead to between now and christmas, give us a timetable for what will be happening? the next sort of key juncture is on thursday, when mrs may is back in brussels, waiting for the european commission, formally to say yes all systems go. however, at the same time mrs may is still facing a tussle here in parliament over the eu withdrawal bill, this brexit bill that has been lumbering through the commons for weeks. this week we get to the critical vote, the crunch vote ensuring that mps have to vote any deal through, before mrs may signs it off. what they have been offered by the prime minister is a vote once she has agreed a deal. tab take it or leave it vote. they believe that is not good eno

but there is the assumption, i think, in among, if you will, remainor circles in london and in, for that matter, in brussels, the -- where there are some who say, good riddance to the british, they've always been trouble, they've always been exceptionalists and so forth. but i think a broader sense across the eu is one of regret. i think michel barnier has suggested this. and if the british, in a new government that had been -- had an electoral mandate to take it all back and say, we want to remain good members of the eu -- it may be possible that the 27 council makes a decision that agrees that the article 50 notification is moot. however, that's only between now and march of 2019 when the two years expires. at the end of the two years, they are not members of the eu unless the -- there is unanimous decision to extend the transition period. if the remorse or buyer's regret or lever's regret comes into play in 2020 or 2021, then the british might actually have to apply to join the eu and they would have to go through an accession treaty negotiation. one of the consequences of that would
