- "The Parties noted the UK's decision not to request any extension to the
transition period. The transition period will therefore end on 31 December 2020,
in line with the provisions of the Withdrawal Agreement."
- "The Parties agreed nevertheless that new momentum was required. They
supported the plans agreed by Chief Negotiators to intensify the talks in July
and to create the most conducive conditions for concluding and ratifying a deal
before the end of 2020. This should include, if possible, finding an early
understanding on the principles underlying any agreement."
