.worlds 6th largest economy...
The UK "created" countries?
Are you talking about the "British Empire" = invading, occupation, so called "colonialism"?
Or are you talking about all those countries, where the UK installed all these artificial borders, when the Osman Empire dissolved, like = Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq...without taking care of the already existing tribal/territorial borders...which is causing problems in those regions until these days?

It's not that, problem here is, that all those Brits, which are hoping to get back into the EU, are exited about him talking like this, that gives wrong hope...
Why?
Because to be back into the EU will go like this:
the UK has to apply for EU membership by fulfilling the Copenhagen Criteria first (which would be monitored by the EUs Commission), if none of the EU27 member states vetos the UK/GB joining the EU again, only then the UK/GB would receive the status as a "candidate for EU membership", and then the 35 chapters (which would be monitored by the EUs Commission) have to be fulfilled/implemented properly, which could take decades.
No exceptions, no cherry picking, no fast track, no opt outs, as stated various times by various EU spokesmen.
It's mandatory for ALL NEW EU member states, to join the Schengen area and adapt the €/Euro, as soon as the new EU member state has a stabile enough economy.
Verhofstadt knows about all of this... as he was in Barniers team for the Brexit negotiations.
Btw, right now the UK is moving away from the Copenhagen Criteria...
Estimated time about 15ish years for joining the EU again, which includes the time BEFORE fulfilling the Copenhagen Criteria (EUs Commission estimate due to experience of other countries joining process).
Greetings from the EU27 😊

Yeah, a bit too optimistic ..
About Turkiye: the EU have put the joining process with Turkiye on hold... since years... why?
Well, since Turkiye had stripped down the human rights/womens rights, independent justice, free speech/press, has still occupied parts of Cyprus, and has massive problems with heavy corruption, Turkiye doesn't even fulfill the Copenhagen Criteria anymore, and is further away from joining the EU then ever...
About Ukraine: as stated by various EU spokesmen recently, it will take minimum 10 years AFTER the war has finished, before Ukraine will be able to join the EU. Eventhough it received the status as a "candidate for EU membership", which normally a country only receives AFTER fullfilling the Copenhagen Criteria first, which Ukraine WOULDN'T fulfill recently.... it got it because of the war, so the EUs Commission can use "different pots of money for Ukraine", but of course the still existing corruption has to be sorted and lots of other issues...therefor Ukraine (apart from fighting the war) still has a long way to go.
Before the war Ukraine didn't even fulfill any of the EUs member ship criteria...
Your guess, that the UK is decades away from joining the EU again, I would agree on that, I'm afraid...

The "Swiss modell/deal " isn't available anymore, as stated by various EU spokesmen over and over again, because of "too much hustle".
Norway/EFTA also has stated various times, that it'll veto the UK/GB joining the EFTA, because they don't want a "trouble maker in their club".
Only option available is full EU membership by applying for EU membership by fulfilling the Copenhagen Criteria first, if none of the EU27 member states vetos the UK/GB joining the EU again, only then the UK/GB would receive the status as a "candidate for EU membership", and then the 35 chapters (which would be monitored by the EUs Commission) have to be fulfilled/implemented properly, which could take decades.
No exceptions, no cherry picking, no fast track, no opt outs, as stated various times by the EUs spokesmen.
