Ahead of triggering Brexit, UK envoy to EU quits
Britain’s ambassador to the European Union, Ivan Rogers, resigns less than three months before the UK is due to trigger the process to leave the bloc, a source tells AFP.
The BBC reported last month that Rogers had told UK ministers that EU countries believe a trade deal with Britain might take 10 years to achieve — a report rejected by Prime Minister Theresa May’s spokesman.
Rogers had been in his post since November 2013, having been prime minister David Cameron’s Europe adviser.
