The UK still pays.
The UK's controversial exit from the European Union continues to be one of the main news items in global news agencies.
The event is quite controversial for both the European Union and the United Kingdom; their markets are closely interlinked, and therefore the countries are doing their utmost to maintain established relations.
To maintain economic ties, Britain even agrees to pay contributions as a member of the European Union, according to a statement made by British Minister David Davis.
The government's primary objective is to prevent the cancellation of duty-free tariffs, which could lead to higher prices for goods and, as a consequence, to a refusal to extend them in 2017.
