Some member states are getting nervous as we enter the end of Brexit

Some member states are getting nervous as we enter the end of Brexit”Reuters reports, citing a European Union (EU) diplomat.

Additional comments:

“Yet it’s unclear whether negotiators can bridge the gap on the three key themes. “

“The briefing for the envoys was an exercise to calm the nerves, in Paris and elsewhere, that Barnier will continue to defend the core interests of the EU, including fishing “.

“We are fast approaching the decisive moment, and intense negotiations continue in London. “

On the other hand, another senior EU diplomat was also reported to have claimed that the ambassadors told Barnier that he should keep negotiating, but the content of the agreement is of greater importance than the calendar deadline of December 31.

“Several member states are open to continue talks after the December 31 deadline if a good agreement cannot be reached at that time ”, added the diplomat.

The senior EU official said: “Member states Barnier was told not to rush to a deal under the pressure of time“.

These comments come after the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier previously told EU envoys that the deal is at stake and that there may still be a no-deal Brexit.
