Several deadlines have passed, but the UK and EU are still negotiating a Brexit trade pact. "The negotiations remain difficult, and there are still clear differences," said British government circles in the evening.
Several deadlines have passed, but the UK and EU are still negotiating a Brexit trade pact. "The negotiations remain difficult, and there are still clear differences," said British government circles in the evening.
Negotiations are expected to continue tomorrow. The European Parliament had given both sides a final deadline of midnight tonight. By then a finished trade agreement would have to be in place,
otherwise Parliament would not have enough time to examine the text and ratify it for entry into force on January 1st. In London, however, it was said that the only deadline was December 31st.
Should an agreement still be reached in the coming days, it could also come into force for the time being and only be ratified later by the EU Parliament. The sticking points in the negotiations are primarily fishing rights, but also a level playing field.
