Barnier said the same the other day when he explained to EU MPs that “Friday is the moment of truth”.
Barnier and his counterpart, British chief negotiator David Frost, are said to have negotiated all weekend.
“The EU wants to keep seeing a fair, mutual and balanced agreement. We respect British sovereignty. And we expect the same, ”writes Barnier.

The question of access to fishing waters remains the hardest nut to crack, and negotiations in recent days are said to have focused on how many years it will take to introduce new regulations for fishing.
The European Parliament has said that it must be notified before midnight on Sunday in order to approve a deal at an extraordinary meeting.
The UK formally left the EU on January 31 this year, but is now negotiating with the EU what will apply to trade, fisheries and other cooperations from January 1, when the current transition rules expire.
