More from EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier. He reiterated in a news conference that “we are still not at the 100 percent” on the Brexit agreement. And, “What is missing is a solution for the issue of Ireland.” He added that “Without an operational backstop there will not be an accord and there will not be a transition period.
