The final negotiations on a free trade agreement between the EU = European Union and Britain, which has left the EU, have begun in Brussels.
With the substantive deadline for negotiations approaching mid-October, the two sides are still far apart.
After Britain left the EU in January, both sides have continued to negotiate free trade agreements.
Negotiations are to take place during the transition period until the end of the year, but British Prime Minister Johnson has said that mid-October is the deadline for negotiations, taking into account the procedure for approval by Parliament.
Prior to this, the final negotiations began in Brussels on the 29th.
Efforts are underway to find compromises over fishery rights and government subsidy rules for companies, but the positions are still very different.
In case the negotiations on the free trade agreement broke down, the British government submitted a bill this month that would undermine the agreement on Northern Ireland that it had agreed with the EU on its withdrawal, which the EU strongly opposed. doing.
The bill was passed by the British Parliament on the 29th with a majority in favor, after which it will move to the Senate.
The EU is expected to intensify its opposition and will also affect the already tough negotiations.
