EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier warned that more time than 11 months is needed to complete a comprehensive agreement with UK. He said in a speech that “we simply cannot expect to agree on every single aspect of this new partnership in under one year.”
“We are ready to do our best and to do the maximum in the 11 months to secure a basic agreement with the UK, but we will need more time to agree on each and every point of this political declaration,” he added.
