The EU is preparing for "all scenarios" of Brexit

"The EU will step up its work to ensure readiness for all scenarios on January 1, 2021," TASS quotes the statement of the EU's chief negotiator on Brexit Michel Barnier following the results of the 8th round of negotiations.

Significant differences remain in areas of significant interest to the EU, he said.

Barnier noted that “the EU remains committed to an ambitious future partnership with the UK, but no one should underestimate the practical, economic and social implications of a no-deal scenario.

Earlier it became known that the Deputy Chairman of the European Commission Maros Sefchovich will go to London because of the situation with a possible violation of the Brexit agreement by Great Britain.
