The European Union is still negotiating a trade deal with Britain, a top official with the bloc said on Friday morning, stressing that any agreement that may emerge between negotiators must still be approved by the 27 member states.

European Council President Charles Michel said the next few days will show what comes next and the 27 leaders meeting remotely on Dec. 10-11 will take a position on the latest developments, as a deal on future relations between the EU and Britain hangs in the balance.

He said the bloc’s executive, the European Commission, which is negotiating with Britain on behalf of the 27 EU countries, will inform member states of the result of the negotiations once they are concluded. He said any final approval by the 27 EU leaders would depend on the “balance” of any deal, especially on the most thorny issues: agreeing access to fishing waters and sharing out fishing rights, finding ways to settle disputes, and ensuring a “level playing field”, or fair competition for companies.

Racism can get very expensive

Brexit will never happen.

There won’t be one. Britain give away our sovereign rights, our Laws and waters in perpetuity? And for what, a trade deal that’s no better than WTO rules and at best has only the short term benefit of smoothing initial transport links - NO fcuking way!

Yes this is the problem with the EU of course.

I think it’s time to call an end to the talks. The EU 27 is structurally incapable of speedy, emergency decisions - eg the Covid vaccine.

He's not top official of anything you muppets. He's just a filler for the ongoing fraud that's no longer convincing anyone. He's DETAILS.

give me a break. all it takes is a ear talk from france an germany, especially germany and all the other countries will fall in line pretty fast.
