EU and UK government to resume post-Brexit talks

The two sides only managed one round of negotiations before coronavirus intervened

 

The European Union and UK government have agreed to resume post-Brexit talks, where they will confront entrenched divisions on trade and fishing rights over video link.

The two sides released a timetable for the next three rounds of negotiations in an attempt to get coronavirus-disrupted talks back on track, following a video conference on Wednesday between the prime minister’s chief negotiator, David Frost, and his EU counterpart, Michel Barnier.

Following Brexit day on 31 January, the EU and UK managed only one round of talks before coronavirus crashed them. There were two cancelled sessions and the lead players were put into isolation.

Barnier came down with coronavirus in March and has recovered. Frost, who had “mild symptoms” of the virus, is no longer self-isolating. While the two leads were confined to their homes, the EU and UK continued working on draft legal texts, but progress ground to a halt.

In a joint statement, the two sides said recent technical work had been “useful to identify all major areas of divergence and convergence”, but they agreed there was a need to organise further talks “in order to make real, tangible progress in the negotiations by June”.
