The President of the European Parliament Antonio Tajani attends a debate on the progress of the Brexit talks at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, eastern France, October 3, 2017. EU leaders are set to decide at a summit starting on October 19 whether enough has been agreed on the divorce to start discussing the future relationship including a trade deal, as Britain has demanded. But the European Parliament, which will have a final veto on any deal for Britain's departure from the bloc in March 2019, will vote on October 3 on a resolution calling on EU leaders to postpone the decision. / AFP PHOTO / PATRICK HERTZOG (Photo credit should read PATRICK HERTZOG/AFP/Getty Images)

European Parliament President,Antonio Tajani, said Britain should pay at least $ 70 billion to compensate for leaving the European Union.

“In my opinion,  The United Kingdom should pay at least 60 billion euros (almost $70 billion) to the European Union over the country’s decision to leave the bloc, ” said Tajani to a German news paper on Monday.

He also raised the question of why Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain, or the Netherlands should pay the price for Britain´s decision and blamed the UK of being responsible for the lack of progress in the Brexit talks.

Tajani made the statement while European Union tor Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, announced that Brussels has prepared possible scenarios in case of failure in Brexit talks.

So far, more than 5 rounds of negotiations have been held, but London and Brussels have not yet reached an agreement on exit plans and bilateral relations.

The British people (England, Wales, Ireland, Netherlands and Scotland) voted to leave the European Union in 2016, and with the start of the exit negotiations in March 2017, they will have two years to reach an agreement to leave the bloc.
