1
democratic will of the British people.
2
And it acts, too, on the clear and convincing position of this House.
3
A few minutes ago, in Brussels,
4
the United Kingdom's permanent representative to the EU handed a letter to the President of the European Council on my behalf,
5
confirming the Government's decision to invoke Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union.
6
The Article 50 process is now underway and in accordance with the wishes of the British people, the United Kingdom is leaving the European Union.
7
This is an historic moment from which there can be no turning back.
8
Britain is leaving the European Union.
9
We are going to make our own decisions and our own laws.
10
We are going to take control of the things that matter most to us.
11
And we are going to take this opportunity to build a stronger, fairer Britain, a country that our children and grandchildren are proud to call home.
12
That is our ambition and our opportunity.
13
And that is what this government is determined to do.
14
Mr Speaker, at moments like these, great turning points in our national story,
15
the choices we make define the character of our nation.
16
We can choose to say the task ahead is too great.
17
We can choose to turn our face to the past and believe it can't be done.
18
Or we can look forward with optimism and hope and to believe in the enduring power of the British spirit.
19
I choose to believe in Britain and that our best days lie ahead.
20
And I do so because I am confident that we have the vision and the plan
21
to use this moment to build a better Britain.
22
For leaving the European Union presents us with a unique opportunity.
23
It is this generation's chance to shape a brighter future for our country, a chance to step back and ask ourselves what kind of country we want to be.
24
My answer is clear.
25
I want the United Kingdom to emerge from this period of change stronger, fairer, more united and more outward-looking than ever before.
26
I want us to be a secure,
27
prosperous, tolerant country, a magnet for international talent and a home to the pioneers and innovators who will shape the world ahead.
28
I want us to be a truly global Britain, the best friend and neighbour to our European partners,
29
but a country that reaches beyond the borders of Europe too.
30
Mr Boswell, calm yourself.
31
You have to try to learn to behave in a statesman-like fashion.
32
That's your long-term goal.
33
It may be very long-term, but it should be a goal.
34
What I say to the House is this.
35
You can study the record.
36
I will want all colleagues to have the chance to question the Prime Minister.
37
This is a very important statement, and I think it is reasonable to expect
38
that the Prime Minister gets a courteous hearing and then every other colleague should get a courteous hearing.
39
The Prime Minister.
40
Mr Speaker, I want us to be a truly global Britain, the best friend and neighbour to our European partners,
41
but a country that reaches beyond the borders of Europe too.
42
A country that goes out into the world to build relationships with old friends and new allies alike.
43
And that is why I have set out a clear and ambitious plan for the negotiations ahead.
44
It is a plan for a new, deep and special partnership between Britain and the European Union.
45
A partnership of values, a partnership of interests, a partnership based on cooperation in areas such as security and economic affairs,
46
and a partnership that works in the best interests of the United Kingdom, the European Union and the wider world.
47
Because perhaps now more than ever, the world needs the liberal democratic values of Europe.
48
Perhaps now
49
more than ever the world needs the liberal democratic values of Europe, values that the United Kingdom shares.
50
That is why, while we are leaving the institutions of the European Union, we are not leaving Europe.
51
We will remain a close friend and ally.
52
We will be a committed partner.
53
We will play our part to ensure that Europe is able to reject its values and defend itself from security threats.
54
We will do all that we can to help the European Union prosper and succeed.
55
In the letter that has been delivered to President Tusk today, copies of which I have placed in the Library of the House, I have been clear that the deep
56
and special partnership we seek is in the best interests of the United Kingdom and of the European Union too.
57
I have been clear that we will work constructively, in a spirit of sincere cooperation, to bring this partnership into being.
58
I have been clear that we should seek to agree the terms of this future partnership alongside
59
those of our withdrawal within the next two years.
60
I am ambitious for Britain and the objectives I have set out for these negotiations remain.
61
We will deliver certainty wherever possible so that business, the public sector and everybody else has as much clarity as we can provide as we move through the process.
62
It is why tomorrow we will publish a white paper confirming
63
our plans to convert the a key into British law so that everyone will know where they stand.
64
And it's why I've been clear that the Government will put the final deal
65
that is agreed between the UK and the EU to a vote in both Houses of Parliament before it comes into force.
66
We will take control of our own laws
67
and bring an end to the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice in Britain.
68
Leaving the European Union will mean that our laws will be made in Westminster, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast.
69
And those laws will be interpreted by judges not in Luxembourg but in courts across this country.
70
We will strengthen the union of the four nations that comprise our United Kingdom.
71
We will negotiate as one United Kingdom,
72
taking account of the specific interests of every nation and region of the UK.
73
And when it comes to the powers that we will take back from Europe.
74
We will consult fully on which powers should reside in Westminster and which should be passed on to the devolved administrations.
75
But no decisions currently taken by the devolved administrations will be removed from them.
76
And it is the expectation of the Government that the devolved administrations in Scotland,
77
Wales and Northern Ireland will see a significant increase in their decision-making power as a result of this process.
78
We want to maintain the common travel area with the Republic of Ireland, there should be no return to the borders of the past.
79
We will control immigration so that we continue to attract the brightest and the best to work or study in Britain,
80
but manage the process properly so that our immigration system serves the national interest.
81
We seek to guarantee the rights of EU citizens who are already living in Britain
82
and the rights of British nationals in other Member States as early as we can.
83
That is set out very clearly in the letter as an early priority for the talks ahead.
84
We will ensure that workers' rights are fully protected and maintained.
85
Indeed, under my leadership, not only will the Government protect the rights of workers, but we will build on them.
86
We will pursue a bold and ambitious free trade agreement with the European Union
87
that allows for the freest possible trade in goods and services between Britain and the EU's member states,
88
that gives British companies the maximum freedom to trade with and operate within European markets, and that lets European businesses do the same in Britain.
89
As European leaders have said many times that we cannot cherry-pick
90
and remain members of the single market without accepting the four freedoms that are indivisible, we respect that position.
91
And as accepting those freedoms is incompatible with the democratically expressed will of the British people, we will no longer be members of the single market.
92
We are going to make sure that we can strike trade agreements with countries from outside the European Union too.
93
Important though our trade with the EU is and will remain,
94
it is clear that the UK needs to increase significantly its trade with the fastest-growing export markets in the world.
95
We hope to continue to collaborate with our European partners in the areas of science,
96
education, research and technology, so that the UK is one of the best places for science and innovation.
97
We seek continued cooperation with our European partners in important areas such as crime, terrorism and foreign affairs.
98
And it is our aim to deliver a smooth and orderly Brexit,
99
reaching an agreement about our future partnership by the time the two-year Article 50 process has concluded,
100
then moving into a phased process of implementation in which Britain,
101
the EU institutions and member states prepare for the new arrangements that will exist between us.
102
We understand that there will be consequences for the UK of leaving the EU.
103
We know that we will lose influence over the rules that affect the European economy.
104
We know that UK companies
105
that trade with the EU will have to align with rules agreed by institutions of which we are no longer a part, just as we do in other overseas markets.
106
We accept that.
107
However, we approach these talks constructively, respectfully and in a spirit of sincere cooperation.
108
For it is in the interests of both the United Kingdom
109
and the European Union that we should use this process to deliver our objectives in a fair and orderly manner.
110
It is in the interests of both the United Kingdom
111
and the European Union that there should be as little disruption as possible.
112
and it is the interests of both the United Kingdom and the European Union that Europe should remain strong, prosperous and capable of projecting its values in the world.
113
At a time when the growth of global trade is slowing
114
and there are signs that protectionist instincts are on the rise in many parts of the world,
115
Europe has a responsibility to stand up for free trade in the interests of all our citizens.
116
With Europe's security more fragile today than at any time since the end of the Cold War,
117
weakening our cooperation and failing to stand up for European values would be a costly mistake.
118
Our vote to leave the EU was no rejection of the values that we share as fellow Europeans.
119
As a European country, we will continue to play our part in promoting
120
and supporting those values during the negotiations and once they are done.
121
We will continue to be reliable partners, willing allies and close friends.
122
We want to continue to buy goods and services from the EU and sell them ours.
123
We want to trade with them as freely as possible and work with one another to make sure we are all safer, more secure and more prosperous through continued friendship.
124
Indeed, in an increasingly unstable world, we must continue to forge the closest possible security cooperation to keep our people safe.
125
We face the same global threats from terrorism and extremism.
126
That message was only reinforced by the abhorrent attack on Westminster Bridge and this place last week.
127
So, there should be no reason why we should not agree a new deep
128
and special partnership between the UK and the EU that works for us all.
129
I know that this is a day of celebration for some and disappointment for others.
130
The referendum last June was divisive at times.
131
Not everyone shared the same point of view or voted the same way.
132
The arguments on both sides were passionate.
133
But, Mr Speaker, when I sit around the negotiating table in the months ahead, I will represent every person in the United Kingdom – young and old, rich and poor, city, town,
134
country and all the villages and hamlets in between.
135
And yes, those EU nationals who have made this country their home.
136
And it is my fierce determination to get the right deal for every single person in this country.
137
For as we face the opportunities ahead of us on this momentous journey.
138
Our shared values, interests and ambitions can and must bring us together.
139
We all want to see a Britain that is stronger than it is today.
140
We all want a country that is fairer so that everyone has the chance to succeed.
141
We all want a nation that is safe and secure for our children and grandchildren.
142
We all want to live in a truly global Britain
143
that gets out and builds relationships with old friends and new allies around the world.
144
These are the ambitions of this Government's plan for Britain – ambitions
145
that unite us so that we are no longer defined by the vote we cast, but by our determination to make a success of the result.
146
We are one great union of people and nations with a proud history and a bright future.
147
And now that the decision to leave has been made and the process is underway, it is time to come together.
148
For this great national moment needs a great national effort, an effort to shape a stronger future for Britain.
149
So let us do so together.
150
Let us come together and work together.
151
Let us together choose to believe in Britain with optimism and hope.
152
For if we do, we can make the most of the opportunities ahead.
153
We can together make a success of this moment.
154
and we can together build a stronger, fairer, better Britain.
155
A Britain our children and grandchildren are proud to call home.
156
I commend this statement to the House.
157
Thank you, Mr Speaker.
158
I would like to thank the Prime Minister for an advanced copy of her statement.
159
Today we embark on the country's most important negotiations in modern times.
160
The British people made the decision to leave the European Union and Labour respects that decision.
161
The next steps along this journey are the most crucial.
162
And if the Prime Minister is to unite the country, as she says she aims to do, the Government needs to listen, consider and consider.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
