The lead EU official has three goals — framed as ‘new year’s resolutions’ — for the upcoming talks on the future relationship

The EU will keep engaging with the UK through the World Trade Organisation and the UN as both sides work out a deal on their future ties once Britain leaves the bloc, according to the top Brexit negotiator in Brussels.

He has also made it clear his country will drop EU labour, environmental, financial, health and safety standards, spurring Brussels’ concerns about British trade “dumping” and making prospects of a quick and comprehensive deal appear remote.

Barnier said there should be “unconditional commitment from both sides” to building a security alliance.
