Following the meeting with the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier and his British counterpart Barclay, the European Commission in a statement said that sides have agreed that technical talks will continue.
“It is essential that there is a fully workable and legally operational solution included in the Withdrawal Agreement,” the statement read. “After Barnier-Barclay meeting the Commission remains willing to examine any proposals that meet all the objectives of the backstop.”
The British pound weakened slightly on these comments and the GBP/USD pair was last down 0.25% on the day at 1.2495.
