Von der Leyen says the EU and UK have not bridged their fisheries differences

The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has made additional comments in the last hour, saying that Brexit positions remain separate on fundamental issues.

Key Comments:

Both parties have not overcome the differences in fishing.

There is key justice in equal footing.

This not to say that we require the UK to follow us every time we raise the bar.

The UK would remain free to decide and the EU would adjust market access conditions as necessary.

Anyone with doubts about the rule of law mechanism can go to the EU court.

We will decide on Sunday if we have conditions for a Brexit deal or not.
