'Only Few Days Left' to Clinch Brexit Trade Deal, EU Diplomat Warns After Closed-Door Talks
The 11-month transition period that followed the UK's departure from the European Union is set to end on 31 December, which could leave London without a trade deal with the bloc if the sides fail to agree on the matter within the next month.
Following a closed-door briefing by the European Commission's chief negotiator with the UK, Michel Barnier, 27 EU envoys were warned that there were "only a few days left" for deal with the UK, according to Reuters.
An EU diplomat shared after the meeting with EU's chief Brexit negotiator that "without London taking the necessary decisions quickly, reaching a deal will be all but impossible. Time is running out quickly. There are only a few days left for further negotiations".
"The gaps on level playing field, governance and fisheries remain large", the diplomat added.
