LONDON/BRUSSELS: Britain and the European Union will on Monday attempt to breathe life into post-Brexit trade talks that appeared all but dead last week, with each side telling the other it needed to fundamentally change course.
EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier had been due in London for talks with his British counterpart David Frost this week. Instead, they will now speak by telephone on Monday to discuss the structure of future talks, Barnier's spokesman said.AdvertisementIssues still to be resolved include fair competition rules, dispute resolution and fisheries.
"We hope that the EU will change their position; we're certainly not saying if they do change their position that we can't talk to them," he said.Advertisement Critics say that an"Australian-style" deal is simply code for no deal at all with Britain's largest export market.
