Mr. Pierre Moscovici:
It is very simple. Brexit means Brexit. I did not say that; Madame May said it. That means that when one is no longer a member of the club, one does not have all the advantages of belonging to the club. It is just a general remark that one cannot have the best of both worlds, so we will defend the interests of the EU.
