EU’s chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said talks with Britain this week often appeared to be going backwards rather than forwards

Without an agreement, trade and financial ties between the world’s fifth-largest economy and biggest trading bloc would break down, potentially deepening the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Beyond the biggest stumbling blocks, differences also linger in discussions on migration, security, dispute-settling mechanisms, human rights guarantees and other areas. Barnier sounded downbeat on Friday, however, saying he was “disappointed and concerned” because British Prime Minister Boris Johnson had told the EU he wanted to speed up the negotiating process over the summer.

London to maintain grip on EU financial market plumbing post BrexitLondon will remain a big part of Europe's financial market plumbing well beyond Brexit as the coronavirus pandemic has thwarted Frankfurt's ambitions to grab billions of euros worth of derivatives clearing business from Britain. Told ya so... London’s the entrepôt... Britain still needs the EU, & the EU still needs Britain, it’s an adjustment. LOL, the EU/ECB will forbid large euro clearing outside the EU. ECB tried to block London clearing before but ECJ intervened. Brexit rendered that intervention useless. What they are dreaming about will fall short! London is a tax haven! And must be tackled about! Q.E.D.

The UN and EU will need to monitor in America’s election too EUs administration, or lack of, populistically cares more about third countries democratic implementations than abuse of its own member states sovereignty and war threats, a policy that is bound to lead to disunity and ultimately to the break up of the EU dream.

GregHuntMP See Greg. This is how you talk about vaccine arrangements. ‘Advanced talks’ has a lot more credibility than whatever you were peddling yesterday.
