(VOVWORLD) - British Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab said that the UK will leave the EU without a deal if the EU insists on membership of the customs union of European Economic Area (EEA).

Speaking at a Conservative conference on Monday, Raab called on EU leaders to “get real” to reach a deal with the UK.
Meanwhile, pro-EU Conservative lawmaker Nicky Morgan said the British parliament would back a Norway-style Brexit deal with a customs union. Three countries currently following the EEA model are Norway, Liechtestein, and Iceland, which are a part of the EU market but have no voice in the process of law and regulation building.
