“Negotiations are continuing, but the current EU proposal remains unacceptable,” the source said.

According to him, the situation in the negotiations is very difficult, but the parties continue discussions.

“The prime minister will do his best in this process, but makes his point clear: any deal must be fair and take into account the fundamental position that the UK will become a sovereign state in three weeks.”

Meanwhile, a high-ranking source in the European Union, the AFP news agency, stated that “For the European Union, the red line is the defense of the single market. The proposal that we have made to the United Kingdom respects British sovereignty. That could be the basis for an agreement. “

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and European Commission (EC) President Ursula von der Leyen will discuss the status of the negotiations on Sunday and decide whether it is worth continuing.

The UK will permanently withdraw from the EU from 2021 and negotiating parties should be able to agree in December on principles that will underpin their future relations in a wide range of areas.

Johnson said Friday that it was “very, very likely” that the negotiations would fail and that Britain would adopt the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in its dealings with its largest trading partner.
