UK: 3 rounds of FTA negotiations agreed to by UK and EU chief negotiators in
video call today.
- Rounds will last one week each and will take place the weeks starting:
- 20 April
- 11 May
- 1 June
- The UK has until 30 June to request an extension to the transition period in
which UK is part of single market/customs union. If not the withdrawal agreement
will need to be changed as the date is written into UK and EU law.
- Despite all gov't efforts going on fighting COVID-19 it still seems unlikely
an extension to the transition period will be requested, with Johnson gov't
accepting of either a v. thin FTA, or going onto WTO terms w/ the EU.
