As noted, this concerns the commitments with which the UK joined the EU.

According to Merkel, this is a misconception - consider this as an exit bill. This is not about the cost of divorce, which sounds like a fine.

The question of the payment of funds to the European Union by Britain remains one of the most sensitive issues of negotiations regarding the conditions for the country's withdrawal from the European Union.

Merkel pointed out that, in general, the bill "for divorce" could reach 100 billion euros.
