MNI BRIEF: Still No EU/UK Agreement On Trade

LONDON (MNI)

The UK and the European Union are still unable to agree a final deal on a post-Brexit trade deal, a joint statement from Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Commission President Ursula von der Leyen released Monday said

"As agreed on Saturday, we took stock today of the ongoing negotiations. We agreed that the conditions for finalising an agreement are not there due to the remaining significant differences on three critical issues: level playing field, governance and fisheries," the statement said.

"We asked our chief negotiators and their teams to prepare an overview of the remaining differences to be discussed in a physical meeting in Brussels in the coming days," it added.
