CARDIFF is being ignored in negotiations over Brexit, council leader Huw Thomas said after visiting Brussels this week.<\/span>
\nCoun Thomas described a \u201cgloomy outlook\u201d at the Core Cities meeting on Monday and an emerging culture of “us and them” in discussions about Brexit. <\/span>
\nHe was part of the Core Cities UK delegation which met chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier at the European Commission. <\/span>
\nCore Cities UK is comprised of 10 major UK cities and campaigns to ensure voices outside London are heard on political and economic matters. <\/span>
\nOne reason the group asked for the meeting was to protest against David Davis\u2019s refusal to meet the group or give cities outside London a seat at the table when discussing Brexit. <\/span>
\nCoun Thomas said: \u201cSince the referendum 18 months have passed, yet David Davis still has not agreed to meet with Core Cities leaders. It is frankly difficult to understand how he can represent the concerns and ambitions of our cities when he refuses to meet the democratically elected leaders of those cities. <\/span>
\n“Now we are leaving, I felt a palpable sense that that partnership was continuing without us, with the EU was now looking out for its own interest, where previously they would have been looking out for ours. <\/span>
\nDaniel Ferrie, spokesperson for Michel Barnier said: \u201cMr Barnier\u2019s door is always open to meet with different groups from the UK but, as chief negotiator for Brexit, he must also consider the other 27 countries.\u201d<\/span>
\nSpokesman for the Core Cities UK, Will Mapplebeck, said: \u201cBrexit isn\u2019t just a Westminster issue and it is important that the UK government talks to Welsh and Scottish ministers as well as involving the UK\u2019s core cities which represent a quarter of the UK economy.\u201d<\/span>
\nGuy Verhofstadt, chief negotiator at the European Parliament, also confirmed his commitment to hold a cities summit meeting in Brussels later this year.<\/span>
\nThis would consider the impact of Brexit on cities, including the question of Britons retaining their EU citizenship post-Brexit, said Coun Thomas.<\/span>
\nMr Mapplebeck said: \u201cThis summit will help improve and strengthen links between cities across Europe to discuss the way we can continue to work together in the future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
