Mr Schauble said post-Brexit Britain would be bound by tax rules restricting it from granting incentives to keep investors in the country.
He also insisted there will be no special deal to curb freedom of movement if the UK wants to remain part of the common market.
Signalling that the bloc is determined to take a tough line in looming negotiations, Mr Shauble - a key ally of Mrs Merkel - said: 'Until the UK's exit is complete, Britain will certainly have to fulfil its commitments.
'Possibly there will be some commitments that last beyond the exit… even, in part, to 2030.'
So. Germany, via this asshole, is throwing its weight around
again. Sounds like the rules for Britain's Brexit will be made up as it goes along, and as punitive as possible.
