EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said, on arriving in Luxembourg for EU summit, that “even if an agreement (Brexit) has been difficult, more and more difficult, it’s still possible this week.” He added, “Reaching an agreement is still possible. Obviously, any agreement must work for all. The whole of the UK and the whole of the EU. Let me add also that it is high time to turn good intentions in a legal text.”
UK Brexit Minister Stephen Barclay said, “I am looking forward to … an opportunity to discuss these issues with my EU counterparts… The talks are ongoing we need to give them space to proceed. Detailed conversation are underway and a deal is still very possible.”
