“The Prime Minister stressed that while reaching a deal in the coming days would be beneficial to both sides, the UK is also ready, after the end of the transition period, to start trading with the EU on the same terms as Australia if it is impossible to conclude a [free trade] agreement ", - says the press release of Downing Street.

The British Prime Minister expressed his desire to reach an agreement with the EU.

According to him, in the course of intensive negotiations it will be necessary to resolve "significant contradictions, especially in the field of fishing, as well as on the issue of uniform rules of the game."

Earlier, the European Union sent an official notification to the UK about the violation by the kingdom of the Brexit agreement in connection with the adoption of the bill on the internal market.
