MNI BRIEF: EU/UK Deal Glacial Progress : EU Source

BRUSSELS (MNI)

There has been progress in trade talks between the UK and the European Union, a Brussels-based EU diplomatic source told MNI Friday. He said the three same thorny issues remains -- state aid, fisheries and the level playing field - although better progress had been made on LPF.

However, the source underlined the glacial speed of current progress, saying at this rate "the south pole might have melted before we have meeting of the minds".
