EU’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, is now crossing the wires saying that their main aim is to conclude the withdrawal agreement and adding that some elements of the white paper open the way for further discussions.
While speaking to reporters ahead of his meeting with the new Brexit secretary Dominic Raab on Thursday, Barnier stated that they needed to finalize the agreement and that they were not there yet. Barnier also argued that finding common ground on security was now more important than ever.
