EU and UK go to summit to overcome difficult negotiations such as free trade agreements October 3, 8:03
Following the difficult negotiations between the EU = European Union and the United Kingdom, which has left the EU, over a free trade agreement, the two sides will hold an online summit meeting on the 3rd, breaking the situation. The focus is on how to achieve this.
After the UK left the EU in January, both sides have continued to negotiate free trade agreements, but negotiations have been difficult over fishery rights and government subsidy rules for companies.
Both sides held the final scheduled negotiations until the 2nd, but did not close the gap.
In response, EU Chairman Von der Leyen and British Prime Minister Johnson will meet online on the 3rd.
"It's desirable to reach an agreement, but not at any cost, as the economy is hit by the new coronavirus," Von der Leyen said at a press conference on Wednesday, saying he wouldn't make an easy compromise. I showed my thoughts.
Regarding negotiations on a free trade agreement, the British government last month submitted a bill to dismiss the agreement on Northern Ireland that it had agreed with the EU at the time of withdrawal in case it broke, in response to which the EU went to the judiciary court. We are embarking on legal action to file a lawsuit.
As the gap between the two sides deepens, the focus is on whether the situation can be resolved at the summit meeting.
