MNI BRIEF: If Agreement Reached, EP Sits Dec 28/29: EU Source

(MNI) LONDON
BRUSSELS (MNI)

A deal on future trading relations between the UK and EU could be reached at some unspecified point in coming days or weeks, European Union Chief Negotiator Michel Barnier told the European Parliament's Conference of Presidents Thursday, although he again underlined there may still be no deal this year, one EP source told MNI. Fisheries remain the most difficult part, but if agreement is reached, an extraordinary EP session on 28-29 December would be held to ratify the agreement.

Earlier, an EU source told MNI a deal could be announced Friday or Saturday.
