Brexit: EU and UK 'still very far apart' on free trade deal
- il y a 3 ans
European Commission vice-president Maros Sefcovic says that the EU and the United Kingdom are "are still very far apart" on issues surrounding free trade, ahead of Britain's exit from the European single market in just over three weeks.
But agreement has been made "in principle" on border arrangements for Northern Ireland, covering goods passing from Britain to the province, and onwards to the EU's single market via Ireland.
As a result, London will cut three controversial clauses in a bill going through parliament that would have denied Brussels a say in future trading arrangements between the province and Ireland.
