Reuters quoting EU sources that the EU and UK are due to miss their self-imposed mid-November deadline for reaching an FTA.

  • Story states that EU ambassadors are not expecting any update on FTA talks with the UK this week, and that talks on Brexit are tentatively penciled in for November 18, unless the talks make a major breakthrough or totally collapse earlier than this.
  • Not a significant surprise given the apparent lack of progress made in the talks over the month so far.
  • At present it remains wholly unclear whether the two sides can come to an agreement. Both London and Brussels have frequently highlighted the major differences that remain over fisheries and the level playing field.
  • As the talks are in the tunnel phase there is very little communication from each negotiating team to the media.
