EU and Britain agree to intensify Brexit negotiations

“The EU and the UK have agreed to intensify discussions in the coming days,” the EC said.

On October 9, Michel Barnier, EU chief negotiator for Brexit, speaking at a session of the European Parliament in Brussels, said that he did not see an opportunity to come to an agreement with Britain on leaving the EU.

Later, the head of the European Council, Donald Tusk, said that after the meeting of the Prime Ministers of Ireland and Great Britain, there is little chance of reaching an agreement between Britain and the EU on Brexit.
