China News Service, September 24. According to Reuters, on the 23rd local time, Gove, Minister of the Cabinet Office of the United Kingdom, expressed that he was confident that he could sign a trade agreement with the European Union.

At the same time, Barnier, the chief representative of the European Union responsible for Brexit negotiations, also expressed his determination to reach an agreement.

  In early September, British Prime Minister Johnson announced and advanced a draft legislation that would weaken part of the content of the 2020 Brexit Treaty, causing the Brexit process to fall into chaos.

In this regard, the European Union has stated that if the United Kingdom violates international law, it will not trust the United Kingdom. It has also studied the legal actions it can take to demand that London rein in the precipice.

However, after London and Brussels accused each other and "fighted" in the past two weeks, on September 23, the two negotiators in Britain and Europe expressed their determination to reach an agreement.

  According to reports, when Barnier arrived in London before the informal talks, he was asked if he was optimistic about the conclusion of a trade agreement between Britain and Europe. He said "he is determined." Four hours later, the British negotiator also said that he was right. This is determined.

"We are determined to do our best to reach an agreement," Gove said. "No agreement (Brexit) is not in anyone's interest."

  Gove pointed out that the crux of the UK-EU negotiations is that the EU has not faced the fact that the UK will become a sovereign country after Brexit. Instead, it is trying to tie the UK and EU rules together.

But he said: "I am confident that we can overcome these difficulties and ensure the realization of a free trade agreement that is in the interests of everyone."

  Barnier said that the EU will remain firm, “we remain calm, respectful, pragmatic and firm,” but he is unwilling to comment on the UK’s Internal Market Act or the probability of reaching a trade agreement.

  The transitional period for Britain’s “Brexit” will end at the end of 2020.

Johnson previously said that no matter whether the agreement on trade relations between Britain and Europe can be negotiated, October 15 is the deadline for negotiations.

EU officials said that their negotiation period is the end of October, because after the two parties reach an agreement, they still need time to legislate the content of the agreement.

  The United Kingdom held a referendum in June 2016 to decide "Brexit" and officially withdrew from the European Union on January 31, 2020. The UK and Europe have since then negotiated several rounds of future economic and trade relations. The two sides still have serious differences on a number of issues, including fishing rights, government assistance or subsidy policies, and establishing a fair competition mechanism for British and European companies. The next round of negotiations is scheduled to be held on October 2. If the negotiation fails in the end, from January 1, 2021, the trade relationship between Britain and Europe will be returned to the framework of the World Trade Organization.
