Britain and the European Union (EU) want to continue their Brexit talks on Monday, according to information from British government circles. Negotiations on a trade deal remain difficult, he said Sunday night. Furthermore, considerable differences of opinion persisted. “The teams have been negotiating all day and they should continue tomorrow,” said a source.

It seems that the Brexit negotiations never end.
The London government is actively looking for solutions that are within the framework of British principles. In the Brexit negotiations, no agreement was reached over the weekend either. The UK and the EU have recently repeatedly asked for concessions from the other side. The time for an agreement is urgent. Because an agreement would have to be approved in an emergency procedure in several parliaments around Christmas. Recently, many deadlines have passed without result.
Britain officially left the EU at the end of January, to which it had belonged since 1973. The transition phase ends on December 31, during which time the kingdom has yet to apply EU rules. Without a trade deal, experts expect higher tariffs on many products and long wait times at the border. One of the main points of contention is future fishing quotas in British waters, which is particularly important for France. There were also disagreements on the rules of fair competition and the question of jurisdiction in disputes.
The European Parliament had set the final deadline for Sunday night. By then, a full business contract should be available, otherwise MPs would not have enough time to examine. In London, however, the only deadline was said to be December 31.
