* Talks still snagged on fishing, competition and governance* PM Johnson: substantial and important differences remain With just five weeks left until the United Kingdom finally exits the EU’s orbit on Dec. 31, both sides are calling on the other to compromise on the three main issues of contention – fishing, state aid and how to resolve any future disputes.
“The likelihood of a deal is very much determined by our friends and partners in the EU — there’s a deal there to be done if they want to do it.” One EU diplomat said there are “only a few days left” for the talks, which have previously continued through numerous broken deadlines. The first sign of movement — either towards a deal or that talks are crumbling — is likely to be a call between Johnson and Commission president Ursula von der Leyen. No such call has yet been announced.
